Overall, this place is a really great option for people coming to Dublin on a budget.
Pros: the location is great, with easy bus access to the center and lots of cute cafes and restaurants right nearby. Ann was kind enough to let me check in early, which was great, since my flight landed in the morning. Ann was very helpful and welcoming and would definitely have been available for questions or recommendations if I had needed them.
Cons: the house had a slightly strange smell, but this wasn’t a huge issue. More importantly, the bedroom door did not have a lock. This would have been less concerning if there had been less people in and out, but there were at least a group with small children and one man, possibly two, staying at the same time as me. I’m not sure if they were also guests or if they were family, but I would have felt better about having so many people in and out of the house if I had been able to lock my room.
