We didn't get to meet Daragh - we were shown in by his friend Edgar - but he still proved an attentive and welcoming host, communicating by text to recommend places to visit etc. The apartment itself had everything we needed to cook, rest and relax, and we found it surprisingly quiet given its location on a busy main road. The location also has its obvious advantages: it's a few minutes' walk from Temple Bar, Grafton Street, Trinity College and the museums. The balcony is also a big plus, providing great people-watching with your breakfast!
We found the bed really comfortable too - not too soft.
Highly recommended for a couple.
