Brian's place is as described in the photos. A few blocks away from the city center (about a 10 min walk). Make sure to get clear directions from Brian prior to arriving as we found the address is listed incorrectly online, although it was close. The space is very clean and well equipped and would serve a family with children well. Hot water is finicky but we managed to make it work. Brian is very responsive and the place is a good value considering highly prices in Dublin!
