Karin's apartment was absolutely lovely. It is located in a quiet part of town and we we able to walk all over Dublin with no need for a vehicle during our stay. The kitchen was stocked with goodies so that we could prepare breakfast every morning. Parking was ample on the streets (you must pay at the Kiosk and be aware that you will get ticketed if you do not have a paid coupon on your dashboard by 7:00 a.m.). Karen's suggestion of the Cobblestone Pub was brilliant! We loved the music. A great suggestion for meals is The Farm which is close to Trinity. The food was superb. We returned twice. Karin graciously opened the apartment a bit earlier than expected for us; we had been awake all night and so a mid-day nap helped us to make it through our first day with a sense of ease. Excellent place to lay your head down while in Dublin.
