We stayed in the basement flat: 3 adults and 2 children. We absolutely loved it! The flat is bright and dry and you would not think it's the basement. Nicely arranged and decorated, catering beautifully for coffee lovers, and with some breakfast essentials. The shop is literally across the road, and there are cheaper supermarkets 3 minutes down the road. The area is great, residential and lovely, with access to public transport whichever direction. Kids loved the bunk bed and their room. Sofa bed is super comfy. Walk to Temple Bar is 20- 25 minutes, bus stop is right outside the house. John is an absolutely fantastic host, super fast to respond to all needs we had and full of great local recommendations. His assistant Gina is fabulous as well: nothing was too difficult for her!
