Colin was the host we met and communicated with. He was nice and friendly. Check in was easy. When we needed some glasses and plates, Colin got on it and they were waiting for us when we returned. That was a nice touch.
The place is as described. It’s a room with a bed and a small bathroom with a shower, sink and toilet. It is a floor above a nice pub/restaurant.
Jameson Distillery is a short walk and the Guinness Storehouse is just a tad farther. We also walked to the Temple Bar area.
There are additional pubs/restaurants on the same street as well as a 24hr market a few doors down. There was some street noise at night, but it settled down fairly early.
If you don’t need “bells and whistles,” and just need a place to crash and explore Dublin for a few days, then this would be a good spot for you.
