John was a very communicative host which made staying with him very convenient. Leixlip is a very nice and quiet village outside Dublin. If you are worried about the distance from Dublin if you are wanting to sight see in Dublin do not worry a bit . For 3.30 Euro you can to the route 66 bus or the 66b bud to city centre. The station road our lady's nativity stop is right next to ryevale lawns, just a very short walk to Johns home. The room is very nice and spacious . It's really nice to retire the day out of the bustle of the city. If you have a smartphone be sure to download the Dublin bus app! Also a word of advice for the bus ; be sure to have the exact amount of the fare for the bus in change before boarding . Also if you are taking the airport hopper bus to Leixlip ask the driver to drop you off at the church next to ryevale lawns in Leixlip village :).
