Emer is an interesting and lovely person. The room is small but totally adequate. The house is very neat, clean and Emer is most welcoming. The bus stop was a little further than I had hoped but I am nearly 70 and its probably very easy for a younger person. The area is charming and access to the centre is fast. If you are interested in the Hop on Hop off tour, one of its stops is a 5 minute walk away but only in the a.m. They also depart from the Dublin Airport for a combined fee and a 2 day pass was a terrific idea for me. I would definitely recommend this host and location. Glad to have met her.
