Kate is a delight. She messaged me prior to our stay to facilitate our arrival. She was so kind as to meet us at the airport shuttle bus stop (AirLink) and walk us personally to the apartment. It was only a couple of blocks and is in a fantastic location right next to Dublin Castle. Kate showed us the home and had the kettle on for my mother and me and a cold beer waiting for my dad. She told us about the neighborhood and where to visit and get good meals.
The flat itself was smartly decorated with practical items from Ikea making maximum use of the space. Available to us were tea, coffee, cookies, milk, juice, cereals, etc., which were very, very appreciated as we had limited time in Dublin. There were also many toiletries so if we forgot something or couldn’t cram it in our airline-approved baggie we were covered. There are two small bedrooms and a living room / kitchen with a fold-out couch. As we are curvy yankees, we decided to spread out and use all three beds. They were all very comfortable.
Our only negative point is that you can often hear water running through old pipes, but you can pretend you are in a spa with a zen fountain. The water pressure could be stronger, but I think we are probably just used to more. The flat was clean and kept up but still retained some original charm.
We are very happy we chose Kate’s apartment and heartily recommend it to you.
