We booked Brian's place for a conference we were attending at the Convention Centre Dublin. It was the perfect distance away with many great cafes along the walk to the CCD. We also did a few longer walks to the Temple Bar area, and that was also quite doable if you're willing to walk 30+ minutes. The place was clean and easily housed our large group. I would highly recommend Brian's place for anybody looking for a cozy home for a larger group.
