I loved my stay in Brian's flat. It is a cute studio apartment with 3 window seats facing the harbor. You can hear the sea gulls and watch the locals walking their dogs.
I like that the DART train is just a few minutes walk away and the bus stop is almost in front of the place. His place is also downtown, so food, stores, pubs, the cliff walk, the harbor walk are all right there.
He provides all the amenities you could want. Milk, juice, yogurt, tea, cookies. You have a fridge, electric kettle, sink. If you want to watch TV just to listen to the lovely accents like I did, it is available, as well as the all important wi-fi.
My best meal was at the Bloody Stream, right under the train station. Brian is super helpful. My favorite tourist trip was to Newgrange. I did enjoy a trad session at Temple Bar. But enjoyed coming back to the quiet of the harbor.
