Claudio's place is a cozy place a short walk to the Guinness factory. If you don't mind walking, all of downtown Dublin (e.g Temple bar, Grafton street) are easily accessible by foot. Lots of small pubs close by as well. We walked to a great cafe for brunch close by named Wuff which was great. A morning walk outside around the corner along the river was great. We were told by the locals at the gas station to watch ourselves as a safety precaution in the area, but didn't have any trouble. Claudio was very accommodating. Our flight arrived at 6 am well before check in time and he was flexible allowing us to check in earlier. He also arranged for a friend to meet us and walk us in. We communicated seamlessly through What's App. He made sure we knew how to get to his place from the airport . Overall we had a very good experience and I recommend Claudio's place highly.
