Our stay with Ishita was brief. She was a welcoming and gracious host. Getting to her apartment was a bit of an effort with 2 large suitcases, involving two separate elevators. Her accommodations were basic - a bed with two small tables on either side. There was a small lamp on the floor on the opposite side of the room, but it could not be reached from the bed. The location was across the square from the Jameson factory, but if you want to venture into the center of Dublin where you'll find the Guinness Storehouse, Temple Bar and historic churches, be prepared to walk at least 30 minutes. Overall it was fine for a quick overnight stay, but I wouldn't want to stay for a longer visit.
