This is a beautifully appointed small apartment. The kitchen is particularly good, often these types of rentals skip on kitchen amenities, knives, pots, pans, etc. Not here, good stuff in the kitchen. The location is not central, but more so on the edge of the busier parts of central Dublin. Several restaurants and pubs are close by. The arrival bus from the airport dropped us about a 10-15 minute walk from the apartment. The bus back to the airport is half a block away. We walked everywhere we wanted to go, and took the hop on hop off bus (recommended for at least one day), that dropped us one block from the apartment at the end of the day. Temple Bar, Grafton Street, Trinity College and museums are within a 20 minute walk or less. Karin provides an incredible guide to what is nearby, what to see and where to obtain the nuts and bolts for a short stay.
