Ayelet and Steve were great hosts, with a wealth of information on life in Dublin. Their house was definitely an expression of their character which was both arty and welcoming. They pointed us in the direction of a great flea market, awesome bar with three levels of live music and a whole host of other things that were a great contrast to the more classic attractions. I would definitely recommend for anyone interested in finding out what Dublin is like as a city not just as a tourist destination.
