Melanie is such a great host! Friendly, warm, and always helpful. Right after the booking, we had several email exchanges and she gave me some excellent suggestions regarding places to see around Dublin. I would not comment on her place much because it is exactly as described by other reviewers. But in short, it is situated in a tranquil neighborhood, is clean, and is just 10 minutes from the city centre. But more than the house it is the host that makes your stay memorable. She has all the information you need written down in her guidebook and around her house on Post-it notes. She is approachable and makes you comfortable in the house . She also helped me when my luggage was delayed by the airline and got it delivered to her office so that I do not miss on my tour. This is the place I come back to anytime I am in Dublin!
