Gill was a fantastic host! She was very flexible and let me check in a little earlier than 2 as my flight arrived earlier than that. Her place is really close to the green line Luas train (maybe < 5 min walk!) and it was easy to get around to/from Dublin city center.
To US travelers who'd never been to Ireland/UK, the adaptors are different than the Europe adaptors (learned that one the hard way). Phone stores around Dublin do sell those, or buy before trip!
