Lisa is awesome! Definitely stay at this place if you want to explore Dublin in a way that feels like you actually live there. Her place is laid out very thoughtfully (bonus points for it smelling incredible). I easily navigated the whole city on foot while still getting to come back to a nice quiet street just off the beaten path. Met very nice people at Kavanagh's pub up the road and The Fumbally is a great coffee shop/farmers grocery. Also, it's a really close walk to Camden St. for music and sports. Everyone I met around this neighborhood and Dublin in general was about as friendly as a person could be, starting with Lisa.
