Ann is a wonderful and thoughtful host. She lives in the house and so knows all about the neighbourhood and is there to speak to if you need anything. She helped me with tips about local sights, dining options, and sightseeing recommendations not always in tour guides. She was most helpful and accommodating - when I needed a late check-out. I had a wonderful and homely experience.
Ann's home is in a quiet, residential neighbourhood. It is well connected by buses to Dublin city centre (about 20 minutes on the bus, and 2-3 minutes to get to the bus stop). Bus #16 gets you to her place straight from the airport, although it takes about 80-90 minutes.
