I stayed at Margaret and Gordon's just for two days in August. They gave me a warm welcome and provided all the information I needed to move around the city. Their apartment is located in a quiet neighbourhood 20 to 30 minutes from the city center by bus 16, which also takes you to the airport, so the location is perfect, and this, in Dublin, is a luxury :)
If you are crazy like me and like to walk, it takes about 45 minutes to the city center. This way you will be able to pass through typical beautiful Dubliner neighbourhoods like Drumcondra.
The house is big, spacious, and clean. But the best of my experience was talking to Margaret and Gordon, who are really friendly and like helping their guests with lots of tips about the city they love.
If you want to feel the real Dublin spirit, there is no better way than be hosted by this couple.
Thank you, Margaret and Gordon!
