Stayed in Lex’s Place for 3 nights in early May. We were a group of 6 adults, needing 4 beds and a warm place to land after hours of touring Dublin. Lex’s place offered lots of space. There’s a lovely private rear patio, fully stocked kitchen, good sized main bath, tiny 2 piece bathroom, and two bedrooms (both in basement). The pullout couch in living room is comfortable. Linens were clean, beds were good (see note about futon below)House was cold when we arrived but heated up quickly. I was disappointed that there wasn’t a fire lit for us, as we arrived in a downpour on a cold day but we solved that by walking to the store and buying a few logs.
Most reviews will focus on the groovy aesthetic that Lex has created. This is absolutely true. You will not likely find a cooler, curated collection of music memorabilia and retro kitsch. Everywhere you turn there is more art to discover. Fascinating.
One caution: one bedroom has a twin bed (excellent, even for adult) and a futon. The futon is questionable and scared off many in our party. It’s super low and unlevel.
This place is not perfect - there are some things that are worn and others that need attention. But we were able to overlook these minor issues because of the location, which is absolutely perfect! Camden Street is 4 minute walk. St.Stephens Green is 10 minute walk. Trinity is maybe 25.
So long as you aren’t expecting a five-star, you should like Lex’s place.
