Frances' home was beautiful, in an amazing location. There were a couple of pubs within walking distance, and even more importantly, the DART station and bus stops are virtually right out her door. It was a perfect home base to exploring the Dublin area.
Frances herself was an impeccable hostess. From meeting us at the street when our bus arrived for check in, to the hospitality of tea, coffee, and baked goods throughout the trip. She is an absolutely lovely person, and we really enjoyed getting to know her. She had some great suggestions for restaurants as well as the most beautiful cliff walk as well. Our trip would not have been the same without her!!
