Ben’s place was just what I needed for a brief stay in Dublin - the restored Georgian is charming! If you enjoy a good walk, it’s perfectly walkable to city centre, but it’s well connected to public transit as well. The nature of the older house - many stairs to carry luggage up and lots of creaking - was fine for me traveling alone; a larger group might overwhelm the place. I wasn’t sure if I had access to the kitchen, but Ben was happy to let me use the microwave and I imagine you could arrange with him to cook there. His mother was very helpful when I checked in. Certainly I’d highly recommend it for shorter to mid-length stays!
