I had a great stay at Karin's place in Dublin. The apartment was close to everything and I enjoyed walking everywhere from the apartment and returning from the south side was only a cheap taxi fare when needed. The apartment is lovely and well appointed, especially the kitchen and it was very cosy and felt like home. I found it a little noisy on the corner of the two streets, but I am used to sleeping in the quiet countryside where I live, so I guess I am a bit fussy!
There was a minor mixup with checking in also, but was easily resolved with Karin having left a contact number for someone to come and help me....and she was lovely and as we established we shared the same surname, so we had an instant connection. When I met Karin she was very generous and hospitable with sharing interesting insights and tips as well.
I highly recommend Karin's place for anyone heading to Dublin. Thanks Karin!
