Brian's place was really clean and just like the photos, slightly bigger than I expected. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed and there is a Spar convenience store opposite which was great for provisions and fresh bread in the mornings. The location was good for walking into the city, we also had a Hop-on Hop-off bus ticket and the nearest stop was just a few minutes walk by the memorial garden/city art gallery. The bed was very comfortable and there was a really good hairdryer. The apartment is on a busy main road which seemed a bit run down in parts and there is quite a lot of traffic noise, however the double glazing is good and it didn't stop us sleeping well at night. We also felt safe walking back in the evenings, there was a sushi restaurant a few doors away which was packed every evening. I would recommend to anyone looking for a reasonably priced place to stay in Dublin. Communications, check-in etc were all really good.
