I stayed at Danielle's house for 3 nights and it was great. The house itself is very nice, and in a good location. About 2 mins walk to the nearest bus stop and 15 mins to Temple Bar. Dublin is a relatively small city so I walked everywhere and did not need to take the buses (other than getting to and from the airport). It's very quiet at night, yet right around the corner from a busy street lined with pubs and stores. Danielle and her family were very welcoming. She and her husband were eager to offer help and advise when I was initially trying to find my bearings in the city, and we had good conversations in the mornings and nights when I wasn't out exploring. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and would visit again if I find myself in Dublin in the future.
