Patrick's apartment is an excellent choice if you want to visit Dublin. It is really ideal and with all the comforts that a demanding visitor will need. The distance from the center is 10 min walking and in the neigborhood you can always find something to eat. There is also a very cozy cafe in the next corner and 2 markets in 3 minutes walking. If you choose Patrick's apartment you will really enjoy your stay. Patrick is always willing to help you in anything. Attention hen you move the sofa! There is danger to brake the adaptor behind...
