Wow, what a place, like stepping back in time. This old Georgian townhouse used to entertain the Irish aristocracy in the 18th Century, and we felt like nobility ourselves staying here. The most comfortable bed I've ever slept in, a well stocked kitchen with plenty of added extras like bread, eggs, milk and butter, and a host who was welcoming, informative, and made our stay an absolute joy. Herbert has made such a fine little bolt hole from which to explore the city, you would be crazy not to stay here, and although it's in the North part, and perhaps less trendy, Dublin is such a small city it's an easy walk to all the main sites, and just round the corner from where the sightseeing buses go from.
