This is a good option for a short trip and if you're planning on exploring most of the day rather than staying in. It is 30+ minutes to the city centre and 30+ minutes to the air port so plan on either driving or taking public transportation frequently. We didn't see much of the host, however his mom offered for us to have breakfast with her our first morning and she was a lovely host with great suggestions of where to go! Traveling as a student on a budget, this was a suitable option, but if you're looking for a more relaxing and luxurious stay, I would recommend to spend the extra money and stay in a more central location to get the full Dublin experience.
