Mary was a wonderful host. I was fortunate that she was in town and available to talk. The accommodations were also excellent and perfect for my needs as the room was compact, clean, quiet, and comfortable and the common areas were spacious and impeccably decorated. There is also a small Italian sandwich shop essentially right across the road which was amazing and anything you could need is a very short walk away, including the Luas station which zips you right up to St. Stephen's Green. My only regret is that I could not stay longer.
