This is your home just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the center of Dublin that you can enjoy a quiet dinner on the patio. But it’s close enough that you can walk to the Temple Bar district for a pint, to Trinity College for a look at the Book of Kells and the old library long room, or to Sandymount Strand for a day at the beach (though who visits Dublin for the beach?).
The flat is very homey and clean. It has the feel of house sitting for friends.
The kitchen is fully stocked and has plenty of appliances from the standard toaster and electric kettle to a blender, a lovely cast iron kettle, a Nespresso and even a coffee grinder. There are pots and pans and baking dishes and plenty of dishes.
There is a desk if you need to work and a big comfy couch in the living room.
The bed wasn’t the most comfortable, but certainly not a reason to miss out on this spot.
In addition to being close to many things, the flat is just a short walk from a well-stocked grocery and near tram and bus stops that will get you any place else you want to go.
The gated complex is quiet and secure and a little man-made stream running through the shared garden is a lovely touch.
I recommend this stay.
