We throughly enjoyed our stay in Malcolm's lovely apartment. The beds were comfortable, it's very clean, quiet and light with lots of windows. We liked the layout a lot, there is a door between the living room and the foyer so if someone wants to go to bed early there's no noise from the rest. The immediate block is not imposing but within 2 blocks you're in the center of bars, restaurants and shopping. The Dublin Castle is also close, as is St Patrick's. I'd highly recommend it as a pied a terre while visiting Dublin.
