Joan and Leo live in the most gorgeous house and the room is beautifully furnished. Both are very nice, provided us with many helpful tips and let us leave our luggage after checkout. Altough not far from the city centre (by walking and with a direct bus connection) Sandymount has a lot to offer by itself, with nice cafes and restaurants and the beach just around the corner. Only downside was that we didn't get to know their lovely cat ;-) But we might be able to fix this, as we would definitely choose their place again for our next stay in Dublin. Thanks to the two of you :-)
