Karen is simply the best host I have ever had. She is extremely knowledgeable about Dublin and Irish history. She is generous with her time and will make you feel at home in Dublin. That includes some homemade bread and local jams.

The apartment is very nice and located on a historic square withing walking distance of most of Dublin's attractions. If you aren't up to walking or want to go a bit farther, cabs were readily available out the front door.

The only negative we had were a few late night or early morning domestic disputes on the street late Friday. Saturday and Sunday nights, although there was a huge celtic football match at the nearby stadium, were very peaceful and quiet.

We would definitely stay again at Karin's apartment. A great spot and even better host.
