Bob was a great host - very accommodating and flexible about check in and check out times which helped us a lot. As soon as we arrived he sat us down with tea and biscuits, gave us a map of Dublin and told us all the great places to explore. He encouraged us to make the house feel like our home. The house and our room were clean and comfy. Other guests were in and out of the two other spare rooms during our stay but we never had a problem sharing facilities. The house has a lot of creaks and quirks which added to its charm, and although in a small cul-de-sac is close to the hustle and bustle of city life.
Round the corner from convenience shops and cafes as well as two beautiful cathedrals. About 15-20 minute walk to the Temple Bar area and Dublin Castle, about 30-40 minute walk to the Dart Rail station that takes you out to the coast line - we had a days trek in the village of Howth which we highly recommend!
Overall, our stay at Bobs place was perfect for our short Dublin city break and a gem to meet such a lovely host too.
