The apartment at Grande Central was very comfortable and completely met our needs. It was five minutes walk to my son, (the reason for our visitA) and same to grocery store, department store, coffee, pharmacy, restaurant, pizza , car hire base and Luas. It’s not ‘close’ to the city, but for where we wanted to be every day it was perfect. The Luas took us into the city efficiently and easily when we wanted to. The apartment was very clean, and had all the basics we needed. For Three adults, there was plenty of room and it was comfortable, especially the beds - Very snuggly and warm. Ian and Laura were responsive to a request for some essential minor repairs and it could probably do with a few more. Not having a clothes dryer was probably the hardest thing to manage in that weather, as even with heaters, clothes did not just dry overnight. But we had family diner every night in the easy to use kitchen. Being in the ideal location for me, we will try and use Ian again.
