We enjoyed staying at Carmel's studio for 10 days and loved every aspect of it. From the easy access to all of Dublin, to the welcoming bundle provided by our gracious hostess for all of our immediate needs, it was the perfect place to enjoy this globally recognized city. The studio itself was tidy and Carmel ensured we had everything we needed to settle in when we first walked through the door. We found it was a perfect balance of being a short bus/train ride from everything but not in the rush/business of the downtown core. The neighborhood had a grocery store, coffee shop, breakfast place, and a few other cool stores we checked out throughout the week. With the headquarters for Europe Google and Facebook within a few blocks it was a cool experience to be apart an emerging neighborhood. I recommend this to anyone wishing to experience Dublin.
