We spent a week at Ciaran's, across the street from St Pat's. Although the street in front was very busy, the two bedrooms looked over the parking area in back and were very quiet. The apartment was a nice size altho there are too many sofas in the living room area and it seemed crowded. It was a 20 minute walk to the very center of town, but just a few minutes to Christ Church and close to the Guiness Brewery. The kitchen was minimally equipped, no drip coffee machine or tea pot, for example, and the stovetop needed cleaning, but there are food stores all around and we bought what we needed for breakfasts. Jeanette was helpful and answered questions readily.
