Smithfield seems to be an up and coming neighborhood in Dublin and located only a 20 minute walk from many sites. Bus lines to Trinity College area are available (3 blocks west, 39 and 3 blocks east, 83). The furnishings are new and clean. The bed is great and the balcony was nice. We couldn’t have been happier with this apartment for our first visit to Dublin. Michael and Maylene were very polite and responsive hosts!
