Lidia was very welcoming upon arrival. She greeted us and we shared a bottle of wine before setting out for dinner. Unfortunately Juan was on a trip. Great location, right in front of the apartment is the tram. Also, if you're walking, it's a quick walk to the center of all the action. The room was small for 3 adult sized people, but the beds were comfortable and we didn't spend much time in the room, only to sleep. The coffee maker in the apartment made delicious coffee! One night Lidia took us out to more of a "locals" area with a bar that had amazing music, one big jam session and to her friends birthday party. It was fun to be able to see the "real" areas of dublin.
