Dublin is one of our favorite places to visit and the only drawback had been the places to stay are either in remote locations that feel like residential neighborhoods or in the thick of the nightlife (=noise, foot traffic, craziness). Malcolm's place is a perfect location with immediate access to the fun stuff but in a little corner that provides a bit of sanctuary. It is also adjacent to the public transportation hubs so airport, trains, trams, buses etc are very convenient. This allowed us to avoid Ubers and use our link pass for most adventures. The interior of the apartment was great. We got good nights of sleep, we had breakfast in the morning comfortably, we watched TV and used the internet easily and had great showers. The one tricky thing is that you must turn on the bathroom faucet to energize the water pump to refill the toilet tank and prime the shower. There was no issue at all getting in or out of the place with codes and keys. One of the best places we have ever stayed anywhere.
