Pat's place was in the perfect location. Everything is super close, yet you couldn't hear the traffic in town once you enter the apartment complex! It was small but clean, everything you need was prepared and you could feel like you live in Dublin!!!
The only thing that gave us a headache was the birds at night!!! A bunch of the birds (maybe seagulls) started screaming in the middle of the night and didn't stop screaming until 6am (constantly!!!). I'm quite a deep sleeper but I kept waking up by that sound. It went from nightfall until 6 AM... We experienced that only one of the nights out of a two night stay, and most other reviews don't mention this, so it's possible that it was just an unfortunate coincident night.
However, it did highlight the fact that the walls are incredibly thin and not soundproof in the slightest. We could also hear a neighbor playing the drums at one point. Even with the windows closed, it didn't help much at all. Might be a good idea to pack some ear plugs in the case you get unlucky like us.
But overall, we enjoyed staying her place and experience "living" in Dublin. ;)
