Michael’s place on the Liffy river was perfect for my partner and I for our week’s stay in the area. We liked being away from the bustle of the city centre, which was still very accessible by bus. We became ‘regulars’ at the Patriot’s Inn pub down the road and thought the Union 8 restaurant offered ‘finer’ though more expensive dining. Michaels’s one bedroom suite worked well for us. It was very clean, reasonably stocked for cooking light meals, nice living dining area, comfortable bed, working television, and steady wifi connection. The suite is in a quiet building close to nice walks in a park. Overall, we’d highly recommend Michael’s place generally and especially to travellers who want to experience Dublin from this ‘in the community’ perspective.
