We had a great stay in the little studio in Rathmines! It is perfectly suited for two people, offering all the necessities you could ask for. The bus stop to/from the city centre is less than 50 metres away, and there are several shops and pubs around to keep you happy if you are not interested in going downtown.
The area is safe and well-connected by public transport. The studio is clean and lovely decorated, and the communication by Tom and Noreen was quick and really helpful. We felt very welcome and will certainly come back for another stay!
