Kirsty is a wonderful host and Leftie is as charming as a dog can be. Though I arrived late (and even later due to flight delay) she made myself feel welcome and at home at once.
In my room I found treats and in the fridge food and beverages were stored for me as well.
Her cottage is near Croke Park, so if you're visiting Dublin for a gig you'll only have to walk 5 minutes. There's a nice pub just around the corner where you can have a nice guinness after a long stroll around the city.
It won't be the last time I'm visiting Dublin and I'll be happy to spend my time again at Kirsty's.
