Couldn't have asked for a better pre-Christmas experience than staying in Leon's place for a few nights. This is Georgian Dublin living at it's best, close to Fitzwilliam and Merrion Square, with lots of pubs and eateries close by on Baggott St. The room itself is self contained in a beautifully appointed building and my hosts were gracious and gave me free reign of the place. There is a small kitchen for cooking with all mod cons, which is ideal for eating/drinking in. Highly recommended.
