The Print House apt. was as close to perfect as anyone could hope for with a longer stay in the area. We were able to wash clothes (and pack less) than we could otherwise. It is close to the train for a trip to Howth, and to the bus lines. We could easily walk to the Trinity area or Grafton street — Temple Bar was a bit future, but then so is the noise and bother of Temple Bar...
The Ginger Man, just downstairs, became our default pub with good meals and a nice pint (ask for Claire).
