We really enjoyed Christian's place. It was very clean and well laid out. We especially liked how the living area was separated from the bedroom and bathroom. His place is about a 20 minute walk to downtown Dublin or you can take a bus (the stop is right by his door) and get there in about 10 minutes.

There are some great pubs near the apartment (our favorites were Author's and McCann's) and, as he said, Guinness is nearby. Overall, a great experience.
