Johns place is great! Exactly as what he has in the pictures. He had tea bags there to make hot tea, which I thoroughly enjoyed after long days of sightseeing :) His loft is quite cozy & very homey. He was very kind to us, gave us several different suggestions of places to see during our stay. The loft is about a 30 minute walk to downtown, which we enjoyed the exercise & the weather was quite beautiful for us. I would recommend John to anyone & highly suggest using him during your stay in Dublin.
