Tom was a great host! When we arrived at the apartment Tom showed us all the places of interest in Dublin and indicated them on a map - very helpful. The apartment was clean and comfortable and was great for my wife and I; the local Spar is only five minutes away for food shopping (there is a nice bakers next door too). We mainly walked everywhere; it is about a 40 minute walk into the city centre, but there is a bus outside or a tram five minutes away. Considering the high prices for apartments in the city centre, this was an excellent deal. Would stay here again if we came back to Dublin.
