The location of this apartment is great! We had a 48 hour hop-on-hop-off bus tour which picked up just a two minute walk down the street, and was very convenient. I would definitely recommend this tour if you want to see many popular locations and sights in Dublin, many of which you can get off at and then get back on when the next bus comes around. If you can get on a bus with live commentary it's an even better experience! We walked pretty much everywhere once our 48 hours was up, and nothing was more than a 20 minute walk. We did not receive any restaurant recommendations as Edgar, who checked us in, had an emergency at home and was unable to stay long. However, everywhere we went there was great food! Many of the pubs we went to at night had live music which was a fun experience. We went to the Bite of Life Cafe across the street the morning we were leaving and they had a great selections of sandwiches, treats, and other smaller items. We also enjoyed the Guinness Storehouse tour-even more amazing than I imagined and I'm not even a fan of beer. The Jameson Distillery tour did not seem nearly as popular as Guinness; however, we really enjoyed ourselves there as well! If you have a time, definitely take a day trip to the Wicklow Mountains. We booked through City Sightseeing, which is also the same company we used for our hop-on-hop-off bus tour, and we had the same guide who was both very funny and knowledgeable. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Dublin and will definitely be coming back! We weren't in the apartment very often, but enjoyed the time that we were.
