I don't normally write long-winded reviews but I'm going to in this case just so future guests can have a full picture. This is a self-catered property with a full kitchen, dining & living rooms for everyone to use. There are several en suite rooms all self-contained. While I was here the building was very quiet, almost never ran into other guests so it felt really private. The kitchen is fully stocked with tea, coffee, basic cooking supplies, iron & hair dryers and the extra bonus of a washer and dryer - which is awesome if you are traveling light but long term. The building is spotlessly clean and the room, while on the small side, is perfectly adequate. The shower had great pressure and plenty of hot water. Street parking can be a little scarce so the best solution is to pay for a nearby car park; never fear there are 2 within a couple blocks for $5-6.50 euro per 24 hours (I used the Ceannt Train Station Lot). Location wise this spot is one block off of Eyre Square, which makes it ideally walkable to everything in the city center yet just far enough removed. It is on a busy intersection so if you are noise sensitive this might bother you but the windows are double paned and the traffic does settle at night so if you close them it's really not bad. Honestly, I'm never certain how I feel about this type of accommodation but in this case it was amazing enough that I extended my stay. Highly recommend it. And finally, Geraldine is a wonderful host. Quick to respond, friendly and hospitable...she's a fantastic lady running a lovely space. I hope to return one day.
