Joanne’s place is a nice little apartment just steps from the Liffey River. Great location for walking to Trinity College or Grafton Street. Very clean and lots of light. We stayed Friday and Saturday nights and it was a bit loud at night (must drift up from a restaurant or pub downstairs), but nothing a good pair of earplugs can’t block out, and dies down around midnight. Joanne was GREAT with communication and even let us in a bit early to drop our bags (although our luggage ended up being delayed). Most places in the area were pretty expensive when we stayed so Joanne’s place saved us about $40/night. Bonus? Ridiculously delicious donuts right downstairs.
