This is a great apartment, very much as described: clean, functional, comfy. A few things that might help future travellers:
* You are a little further away from City Center than you might expect. But this is Dublin: all that means is that you are a 20 minute walk from Trinity, not 15 minutes.
* If you are lucky enough to encounter the fantastic weather we did, the apartment can get quite hot. No problem, just open the doors to the balcony and it will cool down right quick. That will let in some city noise as well. And, of course, if you are there in the Summer, it gets light *very* early in the AM.
* The washer/dryer may not be quite up to your needs. If so, Mr. Tubbs, just across the Liffey, is a great option.
* In general, the area just north of the Liffey (say, between the apartment and just past the Jameson distillery) should not be ignored. Try Urbanity or breakfast, and there are some great vintage shops as well.
Those are offered just to help future visitors: this is a great apartment, and Paul was quite responsive.
