We stayed in Dublin City Centre with Tarek's roommate, Emanuelle, for a few days and you could not asked for a better host or location. They allowed us to check in a few hours early to drop off bags before exploring the city, and we returned to clean sheets and towels (and chocolate), in an incredibly clean little apartment. We were able to use their kitchen to make at least one meal a day, which saved us quite a bit of money during our trip.

The apartment is in a gated complex, which you need a key to get into. The area is very clean and safe, and a very short walk to a Tesco Express, to pick up snacks and beverages. The complex is situated very close to the east entrance to Trinity University. It is about a 10 minute walk to Temple Bar or the west entrance to Trinity, where you can catch a bus to just about anywhere in the area. You can get to the Guinness Storehouse by a 15-20 minute bus ride. The complex is in a residential area, but only a few minute walk to a number of pubs and restaurants. Some of our favorites included The Ginger Man and O'Neill's which are both a very short walk.

Emanuelle was great to stay with, and we could not recommend him more. He was extremely polite and offered recommendations of places to visit, while honoring personal space. Great host!
