Wonderful stay for 2nd time. Great host, great location and very comfortable bedrooms and help yourself to breakfast very much appreciated. Have a further two trips booked.

Jack, our host was etremely professional in running us through the workings of the B & B with regards to breakfast, nearby pubs for evening meals, transport connections to the Dublin central etc etc and we enjoyed chatting to other guests in extremely comfortable surrounds however, more importantly, he was incredibly helpful in sorting out a car rental problem that we encountered when arriving in Dublin from Croatia. He went into overdrive in sourcing alternative company(s) for us to then investigate an apprpropriate deal and I can't thank him enough for his input in regards to this matter. From a very average start at Dublin International airport re the car rental problem to a wonderful stay all came down to Jack's help and local knowledge.

Nothing as everything from being greeted at the door on arrival by Jack and Chilli, a miniature pomeraniun to departing 3 days later was absolutely top shelf.

Charming B&B outside Dublin City center. Self-serve breakfast was lovely. Good coffee, brown bread, egg cooker with cheeses and meats in the self-serve fridge. Lots of cereals and plenty of butter and jam for bread. The room was clean and the bed very comfy. Updated bathroom with shampoo and shower gel available. Great hair dryer. Jack was a warm and informative host with recommendations for traditional Irish music and food nearby. 20 minute walk into the city center was easy. This is a terrific option if you want to be in Dublin but away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Jack and Audrey were incredible hosts first off! Jack went over and beyond in terms of his friendliness, his amazing hospitality and his beautiful house. He even personally drove us down towards our concert venue as he knew I was struggling with my knee. We were genuinely thrilled with all aspects of our stay. The warmest of welcomes, the incredibly comfortable huge bed, a fabulous rainfall shower room, and a great location a short walk from Croke Park. You really couldn’t ask for more, thank you so much Jack and Audrey. We would return in a heartbeat.

Absolutely nothing!

The host was kind and helpful. He even carried my suitcase up two flights of stairs to my room when I arrived, which I really did not expect, and he gave me a ride down the street to help spare me from getting soaked in the downpour that sadly lasted the entire morning of my departure. He also gave me suggestions on nearby for a bite to eat where I might avoid the football fans, who were everywhere the day I arrived. That restaurant was closeby and the food was good. Avoca House, including my room, was quiet, spotless and comfortable. Breakfast is self serve and had basic lunch meats, cheese, marmelade, yogurt, coffee, tea, juice (all kept in the refrigerator of the breakfast area). You could make your own soft-boiled egg in a little egg warmer. Guests should spend some time walking around the gorgeous, peaceful neighborhood Avoca House is in. The houses and gardens are really splendid, as is the patio area of Avoca House. Avoca house is away from most of the action in Dublin, but easily reachable by bus, though be aware that the bus stops are not announced in English on the bus. You need to follow where you are using Google maps. I walked into the city both days I was there. There were plenty of places to stop and look, take pictures, etc.and I'm not sure how long walking directly into the city would take. In Dublin, I recommend the Chester Beatty museum, which might not be on everybody's list, but is beautiful and has a nice exhibition. I also appreciated seeing art by Irish artists at the National Gallery and loved the short visit I made to the National Museum of Archeology. Museums in Dublin are free so don't spend all your time shopping for wool sweaters and drinking Guinness!

Turned out not to be a problem for me but the attic room can get really hot when the windows have been closed. The roof windows open and during my stay there was enough breeze that the room cooled off fine in about 5 minutes. The hosts also have put a large fan in the room which I didn't use. I'm fine without air conditioning, but I know some don't do well without it. The view out those windows when they are open, by the way, is lovely.

Audrey and Jack were very friendly and helpful and we had some nice chats with them during our 3 night stay in April. The king bed was very comfortable, and the bedroom was lovely with a small but clean bathroom. The location was perfect for us as we were using public transportation and the bus stop was just down the street. It only took around 15minutes to get Dublin city centre and 30 minutes to airport.

The do-it-yourself breakfast choices were okay. We knew when we booked this wasn’t a ‘traditional’ b & b and we wouldn’t be served a hot breakfast. Maybe the only thing that would have been nice is some homemade muffins or sweets, instead of store bought items. Bread selection was good.

I liked everything about this place, everything! Starting from the warmly welcoming owner Jack, his wife, and their cute dog, the lovely and magical atmosphere, the superb king room with very well-thought-out decorations, complimentary breakfast, and everything. The large king bed and soft pillows were the most comfortable I have ever slept on. The room had different types of lighting to suit your mood, adequate electrical sockets, thick and soft floor carpet, electric cattle, tea/coffee, water, dressing/working table, beautiful bathroom, good Wi-Fi, everything that I needed to make my stay relaxed and comfortable. Jack extended his cooperation whenever needed. I wish them the very best. I would definitely stay here again and I recommend this place to you all who plan to visit Dublin.

I cannot think of anything that could be better.

Breakfast more than met our needs. The room was very comfortable - plenty of light and plugs. The shower and bath were roomy and very clean. The bed was the best bed I've slept in. I fell asleep immediately upon my head touching the pillow. The property is close to bus stops, pubs, the Botanical Gardens and Glasnevin Cemetery. Our landlord brought towels when we arrived back from a walk having been caught in a downpour, before we could ask. He gave us a lift to the main road as we went out to catch a bus for an evening concert in the city center. I cannot say enough about our stay there. I only hesitate to provide this review because, once people know about Avoca House, I may find it difficult to book a room in the future. This was probably the best B&B I have personally experienced.

I had no complaints at all.

An absolute pleasure to stay here! This house has so much love and care put into it, and it has a truly warm atmosphere. I’d highly recommend staying here when visiting Dublin for an authentic, reliable experience. The owner is gem, and we loved getting to know him and seeing the love he put into his home. Each room has its own charm, fully updated with all you need like coffee and tea. They have even drinking water straight from the mountains. The bed is the COMFIEST ever with the softest, crispest sheets, and the bathroom was updated with a steaming hot shower. They even offer charging chords, shower essentials, and a tv with Netflix. Parking available right on the street, and the owner has parking passes for free parking. Location is incredible for Dublin. It’s on a safe street, quiet with a bus stop (5 minute walk away) that goes into the heart of the city. it gives you the best of both worlds. And the adorable Chilly Willy was an unexpected plus!

The property was spotless. Host, Jack and Chili (his pooch) were excellent housemates. Full of suggestions and information about the area and the Dublin experience. This is a multi-level house and the rooms have been updated with modern in-room bathroom with very comfortable king bed and luxurious linens. We stayed in Room 4 on second level and it had a heater if required and windows could open if too hot. The house itself was very quiet. There were other guests but we never heard anyone else showering or walking around. Self serve breakfast was available and this was a welcome surprise for us. Thank you Jack for hosting us. It made the world of difference to be in a safe area yet still easily accessible to the buses and trains.

There wasn’t anything about the property. I would suggest either Google maps to get around the area or arriving by cab until you can orient yourself.
