Patrick's apartment in Dublin was great! It's right near St. Patricks which was convenient if you buy any of the various hop on/hop off bus tours, and we walked into center of Dublin daily (about 10-15 minute walk depending on where you want to go). The apartment was clean and very well maintained, bed was comfortable, and just a great apartment for two. The phone to carry with us for wifi throughout the city was an amazing bonus! There's also a great little local coffee shop with great coffee and breakfast shop (Two Pups Coffee) not to mention two little markets for some supplies, Teelings Whiskey, and Fallons Pub all less then 5 minute walk away. We also arrived really late into Dublin due to delayed flights, long passport control lines, and a taxi line that was about 150+ people queued for Terminal 1 (recommend taking a walk to terminal 2 if arriving really late in the evening as the wait was only 10 mins there) and Patrick was there to meet us at about 1:30AM. If you end up spending a few days in Dublin and have time to spare, we highly recommend going to the bus/metro/train (DART) station and doing a day trip north or south. We ended up taking the train north a few stops to a town called Malahide and visited a castle as well as had time to walk around town and have a late lunch. We did this all in a matter of a half day. The non-Dublin bus tours seemed like too long of a time commitment so doing a day trip on your own is very easy to accomplish. Thank you again Patrick. We hope to stay with you again in the future!
