Daragh is a very kind and friendly host! I often struggled with keys because I wasn't used to those keys.. but he opened the door for me almost every time:) The flat was cozy and really felt like home. It's 10-15min by walk to the city center. Absolutely walkable. Room was warm but flat overall was little cold. Neighborhoods are pretty cool too, great restaurants and pubs around, full of local people. However, there's a club(or pub) nearby and sometimes they had a party till 2am which annoyed me.. But overall I love my experience in Daragh's flat! If you want to experience real local life in Dublin, I highly recommend here :)
