Karin's place was very nice to stay in while we were in Dublin. Very clean, and a relatively close location to Temple Bar and main city districts (about 20 minute walks). Karin is also a great host and gives many recommendations for food and things to do that are great. The only negative was the noise at night. The building is very old and is on a busy street. It was difficult to sleep on the weekend as you can hear the street traffic clearly. All cars that come by are quite loud. Otherwise, a wonderful stay in Dublin! Thanks Karin!
