Colin's place was great! It was a €6 bus ride from the airport to the city center. There's lots to do there. Plenty of pubs, shopping, parks, etc. 15-20 min bus ride(€3.5) from the city center to Colin's place. My friend and I stayed upstairs in the attic. There's a nice bed, good floor space, and a solid size futon. We had our own toilet and sink. There's also a full bathroom downstairs with a shower. In the morning there was an assortment of fruits, tea, biscuits, and more. It felt like we were visiting family friends. Such a positive vibe. One of the days Colin dropped us off by the Guinness brewery and we took an awesome tour. As far as things to do near Colin's....... Within walking distance from Colin's there's a local pub, grocery store, Indian and Chinese food restaurants, and a pharmacy. We went to the Indian food spot and it was delicious! All in all, we loved our stay here at Colin's and would recommend it for anybody in the area. This was my first time traveling to Europe and I couldn't have asked for a better introduction then Colin and Lhyne.
