The place is clean. George is quite responsive to messages. He is running this as a business. For this price your other choice in Dublin is is hustles and shared rooms . So it is a compromise of price for what you pay for . You get a private room . But it is quite noisy both with doors and knobs , hearing other house mates . There are a lot of yelling and shouting going on in the house. The place is quite cold temperature wise . Heat comes on at about 18:00 and goes of sometime in the middle of night. But it is clean as I mentioned and convenient location .
