I only wish all b&b were this good - James' and Tom's is a stellar example of hospitality. A warm welcome from James, lovely large and well decorated bedroom, a large shared bathroom and didn't bump into anyone at any time during our several days' visit. Nice view from the room. Lovely layout for breakfast with a nice variety offered. And the house was warm enough for us, thanks guys.

We had some pleasant visits together in the evenings and got to watch a bit of Irish television. The garden is lovely and so is Misty.
The area is handy to the city centre which is one bus ride away. A few pubs are in walking distance as is a Tesco and wine merchant.

There are two major sites just a short walk away - the botanic garden and the large historical cemetary (both free) where very interesting tours are given (reasonable $) or you can just walk around by yourself. These places are connected so you can walk from one directly to the other. The house is close to the Grand Canal which adds interest to the neighbourhood. James also pointed us to another small, pretty park on our way to O'Connell Street.
We would stay there again in a flash!
