Richard, Rian, and Ethel are dream hosts. Their quiet location is only a taxi ride away from all of the activity of downtown Dublin, and a stone’s throw from DUB airport. The room and private bathroom were very clean, and the breakfast options were too kind! Rian and Richard were the picture of hospitality, freely offering everything from laundry access to activity & dining recommendations. They even asked us about our travel experiences in Ireland and how the cultures compared, which we were eager to share. For those who are wary about dogs, just know Ethel is a gem. I’m (Jesse, Ben’s spouse) disabled and easily injured so usually highly sensitive and uncomfortable about dogs, and Ethel did not bother me at all. She’s an agreeable wisp of a whippet who hardly weighs a thing. We shared lots of scritches, and she spent most of the rest of the time in Richard’s arms when we were around.
