I cannot say enough good things about staying with Gareth, Ian, and Peanut. The room was spacious and bright with a massive comfy bed. Having a newly remodeled bathroom all to myself was especially a treat. Gareth is a thoughtful and considerate host, and he takes the time when you check in to show you maps around Dublin that he's marked specifically for visitors. He explains how to get anywhere you want to go, as well as the best way to find your way home at the end of the night. Additionally, Ian and Gareth have lived in the neighborhood for 30+ years and have recommendations for just about any and every interest. I highly recommend taking the time to sit and chat over a cup of tea with the pair during your stay--especially if you're interested in art, literature, and history. The house is easily walkable from most parts of the city and a bus line drops directly outside. The only sticky bit is to remember to tell your taxi driver you're going to Dublin 7--but Gareth's written the instructions out for you prior to arrival, so that's simple enough. As a young woman traveling alone, I was especially struck by how safe, welcomed, and cared for I felt--more like having a surprise pair of uncles than B&B hosts. I'd send Gareth's listing to anyone else traveling similarly as a lovely place to land on your adventure.
