My wife and I stayed here for a few days while we visited the local attractions (Kilmainham Gaol, Guinness Storehouse, Trinity College and the Book of Kells, the museums). We walked everywhere and didn't need public transit until we went up to Malahide to see the castle. The Irish rail at Connolly is walkable, but the light rail is very close by. Very good location. The apartment is fairly quiet for being in the middle of a city. We didn't use the TV, but the oven worked well and the bed and couch are very comfortable. We washed some clothes in the washer/dryer but as with most European driers, we had to hang our clothes up for a day to finish drying. There's a hanging rack there. All-in-all, a very nice option!
