Bob was an excellent host -- very compatible and welcoming -- the room and house were wonderfully quiet, with good wifi -- bed was comfortable, and the view of St. Patricks quite picturesque. Though I was too busy to fully take advantage of the kitchen and garden, both seemed very nice (Bob even let me do some laundry, very generous of him). For me, the location was the main thing -- it was fantastic to be so close to everything -- 5 min to St. Stephens Green. I particularly enjoyed morning runs along the canal (Bob's recommendation).
