This was as described and actually I think the building and neighborhood are nicer than I thought they would be. It's a quiet upscale neighborhood within walking distance of the lovely hamlet of Ranliegh (sp?) with numerous excellent restaurants. We loved the Italian restaurant called Venezia. The area is quite safe with excellent bus service into Dublin and to/from the airport and it's just a few minutes walk from the stop in front of the Doubletree Hilton to Eamon's place. The bed was comfortable, bathroom nice and living room area totally fine for our purposes. There was a small stove and EAmon gave me a hot plate for my espresso pot which comes with me when I travel. I would consider this a good value given that Dublin is quite pricey. And having a chance to meet and chat with Father Eamon was a plus. I would definitely recommend his place. If you go I recommend The Farm and Sussex for meals. They were both really yummy. But best of all was FAther Eamon was able to arrange for good weather and I appreciated that !!!!
