We had a wonderful stay at Ann's home. We rented a room in her house which gave us a chance to get to know her. She was very accommodating and we had great conversations. She lives in a very quaint and walkable village in south suburb of Dublin. Sandymount is right on the sea and has some lovely shops and restaurants, cafes and pubs. It was only one bus to get downtown Dublin in the thick of the favorite tourist spots.
The space is on the small side but just fine for a couple. Ann was provided a healthy breakfast every morning.
We were very glad that we stayed with Ann instead of a hotel downtown.
