Micheál’s place is located near Temple Bar on the south side of the Liffey River. This is a thriving neighbourhood but also a noisy one. We stayed there for a week in late August and had trouble sleeping almost every night because of street noise. This is out of the hosts control, of course, and perhaps we were just unlucky (or too old). The place itself is great, with a well-outfitted kitchen, excellent Wifi, and a washer-drier that was very welcome. The bed was comfortable and it has a decent bathroom with standard tub-shower combo. Micheál met us when we arrived and provided a thorough description of the amenities, TV service (we didn’t turn it on), heating system, local grocerie stores, restaurants, etc. He was also quick to respond to a question we had on taking a bus to the airport. The entire place was very clean and presentable when we arrived and had numerous magazines, books and pamphlets on Dublin that were useful.
