Bob was a wonderful host - extremely kind and thoughtful and helpful. The house is well-located and within easy walking distance of pretty much all of the central city. There is a wonderful breakfast/lunch place called The Fumbally just over the road. Bob's house is very clean and he shares it very generously. If the weather is warm, there is a sweet little garden in back. There are three rooms being rented out upstairs; I had the middle one, and it was great and the bed was fine. Doors can be locked. The neighborhood is quiet at night. Within the house, noise can travel a bit between the rooms - I could hear another guest snoring, but then I'm a famously light sleeper (and he was really going at it). All in all, it was excellent value and I'd definitely stay here again if I returned to Dublin.
