This was better than I possibly could have expected. Tony and Sheila nearly adopted me, they were such warm hosts and went out of their way above and beyond to make me feel at home, and I did feel at home. A true Irish experience better than I could have expected.
Not to mention that they are located in one of the nicest areas Dublin has to offer with a beautiful park across the street where you can jog or walk, grocery stores around the corner both ways, pubs within walking distance, easy bus access to Dun laoghaire, and central Dublin, and within an easy hour walk visit Killiney beach or Killiney hill, or half that if you walk a bit quicker. Regardless I couldn’t recommend this place enough. If you’re looking for a little more than just a cot for the night, look no further. This is the place you want to be. You might find a place that’s fancier or looks better in a modern housing catalogue, but for the things that really matter, you won’t beat it, I really don’t think.
