Cristiano was a fantastic host. He opened his entire home to me. He works at the airport and actually met me at the bus terminal at the airport and escorted me to his place! It was a lovely gesture and put me instantly at ease.
His place was incredibly clean and very warm. It is just around the corner from a great square of markets, coffee shops and restaurants.
City center is a 15-20 minute walk and Guinness and Jameson are only 10-15.
It is a great place for any traveler whether it being your first time to Dublin or your 10th.
Oh, and the tram is literally around the corner so getting around is super easy.
