Ayelet and Steve have a lovely house with fascinating artwork on the walls. The Maryland area the house is in doesn't look great, but I decided to solve that problem by always getting a late-night taxi home. I was perfectly happy to walk the 7 mins to the tram during the daylight, but at night I used the MyTaxi app to be delivered straight to the door (Uber doesn't exist in Dublin). It was usually under €10 to travel from Dublin's Temple Bar area to the house.
The bedrooms are upstairs but the bathroom is downstairs.
Cereal, coffee and wonderful Irish soda bread was always laid out neatly for me to serve myself in the mornings.
