I was on a tight budget at the end of my trip, so I took the bus (1 bus from downtown, and Dublin buses have free wifi!) to Sharon's house. I was a little worried when I couldn't see any street signs, but I managed to find her house without a problem (it is a 5 minute walk from the bus stop). The room was clean, and quiet, the bed was comfortable, and Sharon was a charming and conscientious host. I stayed one night, and in the morning, walked back to the same bus stop to catch a bus to the airport (less than a 5 minute ride!).

The only drawback is that there is no internet access. Her neighbourhood seems to be a wifi dead zone (When I searched for available networks on my phone, none showed up). She told me she is working on securing reliable internet access and hopes to have that soon.

I will definitely stay there again on future trips to Ireland. It is an economical and very convenient place to stay on the way to the airport.
