Marie's place is central to everything. We walked to about 90% of places in Dublin - it was raining for the other 10% so we hopped in a taxi. The apartment covers all basic needs. The streets do get loud, especially on the weekends, but it's worth it for the location. We had trouble with our phones when we got here. Once we got to WiFi, Marie made sure check-in went smoothly. Overall, it was lovely.
