The Acara House is a comfortable, well priced B&B just outside Dublin's city center, in the Drumcondra section. Very easy to get there by Air Coach bus from the airport, and about a 20 minute walk to the Temple Bar and Trinity College sections. Drumcondra itself is a working class neighborhood, with a lot of local color, but a bit lacking in places to eat, cafes, and other amenities when you don't yet know your way around. The Acara House proprietor, Elizabeth, is fantastic. She went out of her way to stay in touch with us by e-mail before we arrived, and opened the doors very early so we could get settled after our overnight flight from Boston, rest a bit, and really enjoy our first full day in Dublin. We had to leave before breakfast the next morning to catch a train to Galway, so are unable to comment on breakfast, but the dining room itself looked very inviting. The bed was large and very comfortable, especially after a night wedged into economy seats on the airplane. We would recommend the Acara House very highly.
