Jim’s place is located less than 5 minutes away by foot from the Christchurch area which is home to Dublin castle and the famously infamous temple bar district. Together with free parking, an endless choice of transport on free bikes, buses , and relatively cheap taxis. The location and price makes Jim’s place a knockout as you are quite literally in the centre of most attractions such as kilmainham gaol, and the guinness store house being 10 - 20 minutes by car , the GPO and ha’penny bridge being 20 or so minutes by foot.
The accommodation itself is an Victorian townhouse, shared by the owner Jim and his 2 adorable cats. Myself and my fiancé were staying at the house with an Italian couple and an American mother and daughter who we never saw or heard! We had a comfortable night sleep with hearing minimal noise both in the home and outside it with traffic etc. Jim himself is a very warm and welcoming host, we chatted and he provided some well needed knowledge and answers. Very pleased with our stay and will be staying here again.
Side note to new travellers in Dublin. Go to temple bar for 1 or 2 drinks to say you’ve done it as it is considered a tourist trap and the prices of drinks skyrocket after 8pm. Do what we did and walk 10 or so minutes from Jims place to fade street for the market bar and idlewilds where real Dubliners go. Then go to wheelans for live music and then wowburger to end the night, you won’t be disappointed! All the better that Jim’s place is only 10 minutes away by foot.
