We had a great time in Dublin staying in Simon and Emer's apartment. It is well placed, close to the city centre, in an attractive area of Georgian buildings. We usually caught a bus into the centre although we walked on one occasion and it didn't take long at all. There are plenty of pubs and restaurants within easy walking distance and the canal is nearby. The apartment consists of two beautifully proportioned, interconnecting rooms. The front room has a kitchen/dining area and a sitting area. The back room, which is the bedroom, has recently had a small bathroom (with an excellent shower) added. The bed is a very comfortable mattress on the floor. Both Simon and Emer were at the house when we arrived and made us feel very welcome. They were helpful in anyway they could be. They also left the kitchen with a wide range of provisions which was very useful.
