“What struck me about this family-run B&B is its location: slightly removed from the busiest tourist areas, yet still an easy bus ride from the airport and within walking distance of local restaurants. The individually decorated rooms seem to reflect a commitment to a personal touch, and the promise of a good night's sleep and a hearty Irish breakfast makes this an appealing base for exploring Dublin.”
