I recommend this apartment very highly. It's a really beautiful room in a lovely building, with a sweeping Georgian staircase. It's a great size for two people and we could have happily stayed there longer without ever feeling cramped. The kitchen is really well equipped, and the living area is very comfortable and cosy, as is the bed. There was bread, marmalade, juice, butter, eggs, milk, tea and coffee on arrival - a really thoughtful touch which helped us to settle in. Everything is absolutely spotless and arrival and departure were really smooth and helpful.

My one tip would be to bring a dressing gown - I usually don't when I'm travelling and there is an absolutely huge and very gorgeous window which made me worry that the residents of Mountjoy Square would get more than they bargained for!

Like other former Dublin residents, I had my doubts about the area, but it was completely unproblematic. Everyone was really friendly, we had some nice walks into town and jumped into one of the area's plentiful taxis when we were tight for time. We'll be back.
