He was super friendly and easy to talk to!!! The Kilmainham Goal is 5 minutes away, the Heuston station is a 10-15 minute walk which is excellent for taking the train into Cork and Blarney and other places. 30 minute walk from St. Patrick's Catheral. He even made dinner one night and it was great, I was always on the go the rest of the time. He offers you breakfast in the morning which is very nice, bagels cereal. I never worried about walking in the neighborhood it is safe and a police station is on his road. There are also two places to shop for food and snacks near him, also two restaurants and bars. The room was a good size for me, I liked that I had my own bathroom and my own door to the patio. He provided me with an iron and board, he also has a small blow dryer although I didn't use it but maybe someone will want that. He also has a map book of Dublin streets you can use to get around. There is also one of those coke bike rentals near the place which is only a two minute walk. If that one is empty he has another one near him that is a five minute walk. I was to nervous to try the bikes since you have to use them in the road and follow the rules just like the cars, maybe next time. I would definitely use him again.
