My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay! The place is well located for visitors: convenient to the airport bus and quite near St. Stephen's Green/Trinity College, but removed from the bustle of the city. Ben's mom Sally was very kind, and the room was well-kept, private and comfortable--basically a standalone studio apartment in their basement. Would certainly stay here again if I came back to Dublin, and would recommend Ben's place to anyone looking for the perfect combination of privacy and hospitality.
