My visit to Dublin was for work, not for holiday. Therefore I stayed with Niamh and her marvelous family for two weeks. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I had the entire top floor, including the bathroom, to myself. This afforded me as much privacy as I needed, but it was great to have Niamh and her family just downstairs. They made me feel very welcome the entire time. The bed was very comfortable and the room and bathroom were really clean. The home itself is right near Drumcondra Station, and along several bus lines, so getting into the city center is very easy. Highly recommended!
