This was the perfect place to stay in central Dublin. Right across from Temple Bar the apartment was close to all the hot spots in the city. The noise wasn't a trouble for us as the bedroom is in the back of the apartment, not facing the street. There are lots of great restaurants only a few steps away, and pubs (of course!), as well as grocery stores so we had easy access to everything we needed. It was great to come back to Ireland after my first trip 20 years ago and feel more like a local, rather than staying in a hotel.
