John and Emma were very welcoming and gracious hosts! Their home is beautiful, clean, and stylishly homey. If you are lucky you will get to meet their two sweet kids! The room is exactly as pictured with a very large comfy bed, a lovely tea/coffee station, minifridge, seating, and a large bathroom. Everything was new and modern. There were a few places close by but the city center is about a 40 minute walk. The walk is easy and safe but there are public transit options close by as well. We were very pleased with our stay and hope to visit Dublin as well as John and Emma in the future!
