Our stay in Dublin was wonderful. The location of the apartment is within walking distance to most everything. There are also bus and tram stops nearby if you'd rather use public transportation or access sights a bit farther. We did the Hop On/Hop Off bus (one of the stops is a few blocks away) to get an overview of the city and popular sights. There are grocery and convenience stores just down the street as well as pubs and take-away restaurants.
The apartment was quite comfortable for two of us. Francesca met us at the apartment, showed us how to operate various things (shower, tv, etc) and gave us a few suggestions. She very graciously let us check in extremely early, since we arrived in Dublin at 5:00 a.m. She also had biscuits, bread, butter, marmalade, coffee, tea and milk. The kitchen was fully stocked with flatware, pots, pans, microwave and anything else you probably need. The bathroom had full-sized shampoo, body wash, and conditioner and there is a hair dryer. The twin beds were comfortable and the wardrobe is spacious. We would recommend Francesca's apartment.
