Melissa is very accommodating. She has wifi and many brochures for all the local sites, restaurants, and pubs. She leaves Guinness and fruit and you can tell she's thoughtful about the apartment and what you might need for your stay.
The neighborhood is just outside of the "happening" spots, but it's only a few short minutes walk to almost anything you could want, including the Guinness Storehouse, the Jameson Distillery, the oldest pub in Dublin, and many restaurants.
The building is a bit older, but it has everything you need, especially with Melissa's touches. Don't expect anything swanky, but it is clean.
