anyone considering renting the apt for the weekend...do not hesitate!! i stayed for 3 nights and had a wonderful stay...the apt is beautiful...the location is perfect!! its almost too close to the pubs!! when you have as little self control as me!! its a great place to sit and watch the world go bye whilst re-charging your batteries for another run at dublin!! Dardo is a great guy...he was so helpful and even provided me with his private parking space.....it is a little noisy....but nothing that cant be sorted with ear plugs that are provided!! and hey what do you expect in the heart of the city!! thanks again Dardo for helping make our weekend in dublin one to remember!! i look forward to staying again!!
