The unit is in a residential block that has a number of retail shops and restaurants. I highly recommend getting some breakfast and coffee at Third Space which is right outside the entrance to the building. Also, we recommend the Jameson Distillery tour. Sparks restaurant is nearby and we recommend eating there. Then go up to the Cobblestone Pub where they have traditional Irish music. A little further down the street is Fitzgerald's pub which is also very good. This is a well located place. To get to Temple Bar you do have to walk a bit. Certainly recommended and where else can you get included parking in downtown Dublin? By the way, thank you to Tamir for a very helpful check in!!!
