My family (including two teens) loved staying here. The neighborhood is much more quiet than the main tourist area but the 25 minute walk to O’Connell Street was easy. We were very appreciative of all the little extras like new milk in the fridge, the second toilet, and Joan’s detailed guide with suggestions for restaurants and attractions. The beds were the typical ikea firm mattresses we see a lot in airbnb’s, a little tough for side sleeping but perfectly serviceable. We were a little surprised that the bed was smaller than expected until we googled to learn: European king=US queen (minus 1 inch). Overall we would highly recommend Joan’s place for a stylish, out of the way but still accessible place to stay in Dublin.
