The building in itself has a great character. But I guess due to lack of funds it feels that it need regular maintenance and Cleaning. Cleaning is the weakest point.

It is a very central location. The room was big and I had an en-suite bathroom (I would not have booked a room without it).

We found the bed a bit firm for us oldies. We are also not fans of showers over a bath, again because we are older. But here Jim at least had a non slip mat in the shower.

Jim was a great host, despite his current leg injury. He was always up for a friendly chat and advice on what one could see and do. The location was a key factor. Within walking distance to centre of Dublin, as well as other facilities along Camden rd. Twas hard for us to find affordable accommodation close to town, given we're managing a budget for a 9 month trip.

The bed clothes need to be updated immediately and have a fresh appearance about them.

Breakfast ok. Very central.

Didn’t get the room we booked, place wasn’t very clean, no en-suite, dead spiders in shared bathroom, we checked out a day early and booked a hotel so we could have a shower and feel clean again

Location was good

The bed was comfortable and the room had everything you need. Towels and plenty of bathroom products. Very close to the town for pubs and sightseeing. Jim was helpful in advising where to go. Breakfast was help yourself but plenty of bread, fruit and various jams, teas and coffees. Yes the place is a bit tired and could do with a bit of dusting but it was comfortable and a pleasant atmosphere. I had the place to myself so nice and quiet as well. I would happily stay there again.

Very dirty bedroom, kitchen dirty; cats running free throughout house: no breakfast

Nothing to like

Everything. I booked the accommodation a month ahead and never heard from the owner how to get into the property. On the day, we arrived at 22:00, still no messages from the owner. So, I called and he told me that I had to let myself in by taking the key from key box (not a problem). However, he also told me that because he had been in hospital for a few days the room was not ready and I had to make the bed myself (which still wasn't a problem) or cancel the booking and go somewhere else (which was not practical as July is high season, we arrived during the weekend, was already late, and we already paid). The owner said that he would refund me 50%, but never heard from him when I messaged. Once in, we discovered the truth! The house was neglected for more than a few days (probably weeks if not months). All house was dirty and dusty with cats hair and bad smell and rubbish all around. The owner just grabbed our money. He could have cancelled the booking when he was admitted in hospital (I don't believe is the truth, anyway). I will file a complaint to Booking.com as the property is not fit to host people because it legally lacks the health and safety minimum standards.

Very comfortable charming room. Warm. Great location and Jim is a wonderful interesting funny host. We really enjoyed our chats with him. Breakfasts were minimal ,but I’m a minimal breakfast guy so it was fine by me.

The house is run down and dirty. Advertised for sale so not intended to be maintained. The bathroom has mould on the walls, and the bathtubj was dirty, as was the floor. Room dusty, dirty carpet, spiderwebs,.

Conveniently located and good communication from host. Plenty of fruit, tea and coffee in the kitchen.

The room was unclean, small & cluttered with the owners clothes & toiletries.My daughter is allergic to pets and it wasn’t mentioned that the owner had 2 cats that could wander every where ,so she had a allergic reaction.We paid for breakfast but were told we could make it ourselves out of what ever we found lying around in the kitchen which wasn’t much.

It was close to the sights

Jim was absolutely lovely, the venue was a 3 minute walk from our bus stop and everywhere we wanted to go was within walking distance. Overall the accomodation was very good for the price and we were made to feel very welcome.

Very accommodating host. I got there at 02:45 but his instruction re access were perfect so no problem. Good breakfast selection. Toiletries were good, certainly no cheap shower gel.

Rain! But realistically you have to expect some precipitation or the isle wouldn't be emerald.

The location couldn't be better for accessing Dublin tourist attractions (10 minute walk). Well stocked kitchen. Quiet house and responsive host with good suggestions. Jim had arranged convenient parking nearby
