Ideally located for me at least is Tonina's Town Home. The space is located in a Historic Brick Building built in 1875 that used to house the former Trinity College Medical School and at one point a mattress factory. The surrounding grounds are pleasant and have a bit of character. The front steps would be a nice place for a morning coffee to sit and listen to the birds chirp in the giant tree that hangs over the courtyard.
The main street from the location is host to loads of ethnic restaurants and conveniences. I don't think anything I traveled to was more than 20 mins away not counting the airport which was only 42 mins away and that was with traffic. Room was very very clean and was large enough to fit myself, a large carry-on bag, an averaged sized carry-on and my messenger bag. Bed was very comfortable and the bathroom looked like it would be at home in a boutique hotel. Art work throughout the house was a nice bonus. I got to know the dog and cat of the house and I must say the dog is a love bug. The cat warmed up to me after a few days and actually let me pet it. They are allowed in the private areas but don't venture to where you stay. Over all, it was a very pleasant experience and I would stay here again in a heart beat.
