Daragh was supremely accommodating and hospitable. He arranged for an early check-in (which we appreciated very much) and offered several suggestions for tours and sights that would appeal to me specifically. The conference schedule kept me busier than I expected, so I wasn't able to act on his suggestions, but I fully intend to do one of the tours he suggested on our one night in Dublin on the way home.

The apartment is centrally located, but not so much so that you are within the din of the bars. Since we were there during the Rugby World Cup and for the GAA All-Ireland final, that's saying something. It is on a busy road, so there is some traffic noise. The noise didn't disturb my sleep, and my husband resolved his issues by making more use of the white noise app on his smartphone.

The apartment was exactly as advertised and was equipped with everything we needed for cooking. If you don't feel like throwing lunch together, the cafe across from the apartment makes a brilliant sandwich.
