Sean is a pleasant and helpful host. The place was a little less than we expected (one bedroom was divided from the living area by a curtain not a door), but generally acceptable. The clothes washer a bit dodgy, and had been left with a half tank of cold water in it. But the key comment is that Temple Bar is noisy. It is the bar scene, and although this location is not in the heart of the scene, the bar across the street is pretty noisy till well after midnight. If that is not a problem for you, this is a great location: central to just about everything you would want to visit. But if it is a problem, bring good wax earplugs. We bought some after the first night, and were able to sleep well the following nights.
