Ian told me "this is your home from home" and so it was. I loved it. Ian's hospitality is visible in all the thoughtful details (including maps, takeaway menu, adapters, luggage scales, emergency toiletries) and his kind offer to get things laundered while the washing machine was kaput.
The house is close to the centre (excellent location) and the buzz of Stoneybatter, but is in a really lovely small, quiet street where excellent sleep was just one of the delights of staying. It felt very safe there and the house has good locks. Two front door keys were provided.
Cooking essentials were available, there's all you need to cook simple meals and the nearby 24/7 mini supermarket has most things. The courtyard is covered and a clothesline is available, but the photos do far more justice to the house than my prose possibly can.
The shower pressure was fine, there's limitless hot water and there are wall fan heaters in the bathroom and shower room if needed, as these rooms are cooler. It was a really cosy and warm place to stay and close enough to the centre to pop back to easily.
Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
