Our first glimpse of Dublin was from one of the two balconies at Ashton's apartment. The bright sun (our weather happened to have been terrific over several days in mid-October) reflecting into the lovely two bedroom, two bathroom apartment, just a walk from City Centre. Restaurants and pubs were just minutes from the aprtment; however, the kitchen was so well equipped that it was truly a pleasure to make meals at home, when we chose to do so. Very close to public transportation, and to the sites we were in Dublin to see - Ashton's lovely apartment enabled us (my wife, daughter and our daughter's husband) to explore the city and even visit the sea shore. Just a quick word about the owner - Ashton made himself available to help us with our "tansitioning" to Dublin, and was incredibly helpful overall. He assisted us with directions, places to eat, where to go, and suggestions about when to go there. He had a compliment of travel materials (and other reading mateirals, including some great cookbooks) at the apartment that answered most all of our questions, but was accessible to us if and when we needed assistance. Overall, a great place, which I want to return to - from the start, it felt like "home".
Overall, an excellent place to stay.
