Laura's place was great. It is around 15 minutes by bus to Dublin City Center but she gave us her Leap Card to save some money throughout. The atmosphere of Dublin during St. Patrick's Day weekend was next to none, but it was nice to get out of the noisy city streets of downtown Dublin to get a good night's rest at Laura's home. She gave us many tips, was quick with responses, and stayed up late to check us in after our plane was delayed. Laura was a great host and I will book her place again if I ever get the chance to come back. Furthermore, if you are there for more than a day, go to Howth, it is spectacular!
