My sister and I loved staying at Marie's apartment. The apartment was clean and well stocked. Marie was very accommodating and always responded quickly. Additionally, the location cannot be beat; we were less than a 5 minute walk to St Stephen's Green and found all of Dublin to be within walking distance. However, if you prefer not to walk, there is a hotel around the corner from Marie's apartment where you can often find a taxi. The Airlink 757 (shuttle bus to and from the Dublin airport) also stops very close. We felt safe in the area, even while walking home at night, and enjoyed a bit of calm and quiet while not being too far removed from the bustle of the city. I would definitely recommend staying here.
