The most wonderful stay in Dublin!

My husband and two young daughters and I had the good fortune to rent this apartment in August. It is an absolute gem! The apartment is so lovely, so charming-- a true pleasure to return home to at the end of a busy day sightseeing.

One lovely feature is that the apartment has enormous windows facing Mountjoy Square. These let in the light, but also provide the most wonderful view. Mornings sipping coffee and gazing outside were among my favorite moments of my 2 weeks in Dublin.

The apartment is perfectly furnished, and really creates a wonderful atmosphere. The hallways outside the apartment itself contain bookshelves with hand-selected books from Karin's library. Pick a novel, or an Irish history, to read by the fire.... or choose a dvd from the library of great Irish films!

As other commenters have said, perhaps the best feature of all is Karin herself. Karin went well out of her way to accommodate our family.... she provided a folding single bed for my 6-year old daughter, and another, lower folding bed for my 3-year old. Although the apartment is not huge, we were easily able to unfold these each night and all sleep comfortably (me and my husband in the upstairs loft).

Karin is a font of information. She tells you the best places to shop and sights to see, including tucked-away places you will not find in your guidebook. Chatting with her in the evenings was such a pleasure.
If you want a home away from home in Dublin, with authentic charm and beauty, and the kindest, most helpful Host around, this is the spot for you.

Our family misses it already!!!
