We stayed at Karin's apartment for two nights while visiting Dublin. The location was perfect - short walking distance to great restaurants, pubs, sites, etc., but just outside of the more heavily trafficked areas. Although we did not meet Karin in person (she was on vacation at the time), she provided us with some staple breakfast items, making our first morning in Dublin calm and relaxing. All in all, a wonderful location to visit the city - highly recommended!
