Alan is an amazing host and his place is the perfect spot for exploring the city while enjoying the quiet and local feel of a Dublin neighborhood. Alan went above and beyond to help us with the return of our rental car and provided great restaurant recommendations, including making a reservation for us at the neighborhood and very popular (for good reason!) Bijou Bistro. We enjoyed getting fresh scones and croissants at Bijou Deli right next door in the morning too! Alan was very thoughtful to provide tea and milk and bottled water for our arrival and was great with communication and responsiveness. His place is very comfortable, clean and quiet -- plus it's an easy ride into town (only 15 min) via several buses right around the corner. We definitely recommend Alan's place for your Dublin stay!
