The apartment is GREAT! Large and spacious! The view of the canal is wonderful, be sure to sit on the deck with a beverage and just enjoy!
This is a bit far from the downtown Temple Bar, St. Patricks Cathedral, Guinness, etc. To Temple Bar is about a 45 minute walk, but the bus system is easy and only one block away. A grocery, various pubs and plenty of quick bites, (McDonalds, pizza, Asian) are also one block away. The local Library is at the end of the avenue.
Overall, this is a wonderful location to stay and enjoy! I highly recommend this for your stay.
