This was a dream stay. The place was a great location for accessing the city centre, and perfectly laid out. Indeed, it was such a competitively priced location, I kept waiting to see why, i.e. what was "wrong" with it. Reader, I didn't find any problem. It wasn't huge, but the use of space was so ingenious that one never felt it was small. The parking spot was great and the access to it was great. The facilities and their finishes were very nicely observed, and massively important - the beds were comfortable, and the rooms pretty quiet, even on the last night of Pride, which was only a street or two away.
In terms of communication, our hosts were fantastic, and gave the best details of how to get there that I have ever seen - the video on how to get the key was spot on, as was the detail about getting to the parking lot.
To any who might feel even slightly uncomfortable about the surrounding streets I would suggest that taking typical "big-city" precautions will more than cover any concerns. I walked about with my 7 year old late into the evening, and it was perfectly safe. Further to that, the place is very secure, as is the parking lot.
The ease of access to all the local sights is remarkable, and it is hard to imagine a city that you can get around the high points of the centre more easily than Dublin. I cannot recommend this place highly enough, and will be hoping it is available next time I want to spend a night or more in central Dublin.
