Bill was a wonderful host! His 6 page guide to Dublin was just incredible, with fabulous restaurant tips in his neighborhood (Portabello) and through out the city. His cottage is charming, comfortable, and clean. There are lots of skylights, so even on cloudy or rainy days, there is lots of natural light. The cottage is a 20 minute walk to downtown center city, and 1 block away from the grand canal. The location allowed us to explore more of the city, and some wonderful ethnic cuisine as well. The kitchen is well equipped, although we chose to only eat breakfast at home. Bill left us eggs, yogurt, coffee, tea, granola, and other goodies for the morning. He also has candles though out the cottage which added to a lovely ambience. I loved making our coffee every morning in his french press! We absolutely love Dublin, and staying at Bill's cottage worked really well for us!
