Nicola's place is lovely! It is situated extremely well. Close to Temple Bar, but not on the most busy bar-lined street so that it was perfect for our family including our daughter and her grandparents. There are many great shops and restaurants close by, including delicious ice cream. We felt like we were in the center of everything, but the apartment was still calm. It is a very short walk to Trinity College. There are a couple flights of stairs to go up, but my elderly in-laws managed them with no problem. The furniture in the apartment is very tasteful and it is beautifully designed overall, with a great kitchen and bath with plenty of towels and a fantastic shower and tub. The beds were very comfortable and the bedroom was extremely quiet. We slept 5 people very comfortably on the main bed, two bunk beds, and the sofa bed. Nicola provided a lot of helpful signs so we could figure out how to lock the doors, turn on the hot water, etc. She also had a bunch of tips for restaurants and other things to see around Dublin. The place is very kid-friendly--there are toys and scooters and my 9-year-old loved the bunk bed in particular. We had a great stay and would love to come back.
