Paul's apartment is perfectly situated a block away from People's Park (which has an amazing market on Sunday's) & the dart station is only a 2 minute walk away. You can explore Sandycove/Glastule village (great boutique shops & good restaurants), walk along the beachfront & pier, & walk into Dun Laoghaire, all within 10 minutes. Great communication - Paul responded quickly to all my questions & was very accommodating to let me stay 3 nights, then I was away elsewhere for a night, then stayed again for 2 nights - allowing me to keep all my belongings in the apartment for the night I wasn't there. The apartment is a good size & Paul is very thoughtful to supply extra little things like a hairdryer, laundry detergent, tourist brochures. The garden is lovely - it is at the front of the apartment so not private but there are some bushes that shield the main road. It is a one bedroom but does also have the option of the sofa bed in the living area. All the sheets were lovely & new & fresh. I would recommend it.
