A perfect base for visiting Dublin, for pleasure or for work. The room was the perfect oasis in the middle of the city: spotless, comfortable, well-appointed and opening onto a peaceful courtyard. A copious breakfast was a bonus. My hosts couldn't have been better: Kieran and Barbara made me feel very much at home and and had plenty of interesting stories to tell about the city. The neighbourhood is lively and quirky in a good way, with lots to do locally, just off the tourist trail, and an easy walk to the city centre.
