I think it's pretty close to impossible to find a better location than this apartment.. City sounds aren't an issue at all unless you want to open the windows and breath in that Dublin atmosphere. I can't remember how many times over the weekend we talked about what a fantastic place Jack's apartment is to stay. If your reading this review and you don't book it you'll regret it I assure you.. Ask Jack to recommend a good place for a salt beef sandwich, not to be missed!
