Alessandro's place is good and has a great view. Small hickup with getting the taxi driver to drop us off in the correct spot but alessandro messaged us shortly after we tried to reach him and we got it all figured out. We took a 30 min walk to kilmainham gaol, 10 min walk to guiness storehouse, 15 min walk to temple bar. Good location as we wanted to walk to the gaol and storehouse but we found ourselves a little outside alot of the restaurants (15 min walk to the grouping of them). There was the brazen head and o'sheas right there though. Balcony was awesome. Nights were quiet. Had problems with getting the washer/dryer to dry our clothes but that may have been our fault, we never used a combo before but a direction guide would have been helpful.
