Great place, AWESOME location! Dublin is very walkable, and we found ourselves less than a 10 min walk from almost everything we wanted to see. It's also very convenient to take the bus from the airport (about 2 blocks away), so you don't need a single taxi ride.
Great restaurants nearby include Leo Burdock's (chipper), Siri Indian, Queen of Tarts breakfast, and the list continues. We loved pubs Hairy Lemon and P. Mac's.
