Daragh was a great host and his place was everything we were looking for in Dublin. Location is central with lots of nearby pubs, restaurants and nightlife. Only a 10 to 15 minute walk to Temple Bar, Grafton Street, and other points of interest. Being centrally located, you can expect to hear sounds of nightlife from the street in the late weekend evenings (we stayed on a Friday night) but it wasn't overly loud and a small price to pay for such a great location.
Daragh himself was well prepared to host us and he gave us some great suggestions for restaurants and things to do in the area. Would absolutely recommend this place for your stay.
