I had a wonderful stay at Clare's home. The location is just outside the action in the charming (and quiet) Clontarf neighborhood - a short and direct bus ride from the city center. The bus stop is less than a quarter mile from her doorstep and drops you right in the heart of Dublin near O'Connell Street. Clare as a host was lovely - friendly and warm and makes an excellent fry up for breakfast complete with hot coffee, steamed milk and delicious fresh squeezed OJ!! I wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else when I visit Dublin from now on.
