Lorraine communicated with me prior to arrival and was flexible with me as I thought I might end up arriving early. She answered all my questions very quickly. She lives in a great little neighborhood extremely close to the bus station and train station and city center... Like literally a two minute walk. But it's a home and very quiet. I felt very comfortable there and greatly appreciated the convenience. There are three small rooms that she lets out and we all shared a bathroom. It was no problem. She was so sweet and invited me to join her and another guest for dinner the night I arrived. Fun to have company. We bonded right away, went to a pub, and even stayed up late chatting about life over a cup of tea that she graciously prepared for me. Her breakfast spread is lovely and she asks what you'd like to eat. I was in a rush to catch a tour so she made be scrambled eggs and a fruit smoothie. She also baked a homemade of Irish bread! Yum! The next day I was on my own for a long day tour and we met up again for a drink at a very new hip bar that I would have never known about. There was never any pressure to hang out, just nice for both she and I to have company since I was traveling by myself. If you're planning on spending a good bit of time out and want a comfortable, safe, good sleep with a delicious healthy breakfast and a very sweet conscientious host, this is the spot. Lorraine even went way out of here way and woke up at 4:30am to drive me to the bus! Sweet lady. I had a great time.
