Kate was a great host. Her directions made it easy to find and she was there to meet us when we arrived. She provided a lot of written information about her flat, local amenities, and public transportation, which was really helpful in an unfamiliar place. Her place is just around the corner from a convenient bus stop. All buses from there go into the city center, and the 40 was especially useful - it goes to Glasnevin Cemetery in one direction and Kilmainham Gaol in the other. It’s only a 20-minute walk into the heart of downtown anyway, so you don’t necessarily need the bus at all. The apartment itself had everything we needed, down to soap, umbrellas, and even an eye mask for light sleepers! It was as so clean, comfortable, well-appointed, and conveniently located. The secure, covered parking space was a real bonus! We had a great time and hope to be back sometime soon!
