Brid and Brendan were excellent hosts! Brendan met us at the apartment, gave us some recommendations of the area and also a brief Irish history! The apartment was clean and exactly as described! It is in a gated community in an apartment setting, so you get the benefits of extra security.
It's within -10-20 minute walking distance of everything Dublin has to offer so the location was convenient.
Finally anyone who stays here needs to go to the bull and castle restaurant. Make a reservation first but the food is excellent!
