Would definitely recommend if you want to experience a true Dubliner's hospitality. Had many great chats with John, while Caroline gives you fantastic tips on places to visit.
As for the house, it was definitely splendid. Very spacious and clean with a great homely feel. Plus the bed is one of the most comfortable ones I have slept on - not the usual creaky springy ones. Shower is very modern and cleaned daily. The area also feels very safe if you come back late at night. Only downside is that you have to take a 40min bus into city center but I will trade that anytime for the great experience I had in the home.
