Micheal was an excellent host and went out of his way to make sure we had a great stay. His hospitality started when he gave directions over the phone to our less-than-friendly taxi driver who was bringing us to the wrong side of town, and continued when he gave us great suggestions on things to do/places to eat/etc.

The apartment is quaint and cosy but still had plenty of room and storage space for four girls who are notorious over-packers. The pull-out day bed was surprisingly big and SO comfortable. While we didn't use the kitchen, it seemed to be fully stocked with everything you might need. Lastly, the biggest perk was the amazing, hot shower. I'm not sure if this is the norm in Ireland, but compared to the unpredictable shower temperatures I've experienced elsewhere in Europe, the hot, high-pressure shower was heavenly.

As for location, it is completely walkable to almost all of the tourist attractions while still being far enough away to "escape" from the crowds of people. We were extremely lucky with the weather and had only 20 minutes (!!!!!!) of rain during our three-day stay, so we used the grab-and-go bikes as our mode of transportation and were able to cover the entire city easily.

Overall, I couldn't have imagined a better place to call "home" for our short weekend trip. Thanks Micheal for a great trip!
