It is located in a newer part of town, quiet and felt very safe. The room and bathroom were clean and well appointed. Located up one flight of stairs. Basic breakfast of cereal, coffee offered. We purchased bread fruit etc from the friendly Centra store across the street. Nice patio area. We found it best to eat before heading back at the end of the day as there is limited places near by most are 20 minutes walk away, our days were long and full. The walk along the Canal was lovely and peaceful, when we did dine in the area.
My only caution is if taking a early morning tour, you will have to cab it 13-16 Euro’s as the bus does not get you there in time for departure, many leave at 6:45-7am from downtown Dublin.
