My family and I were looking for a location that would be quieter than the temple bar area but still be accessible. We found Johns place and it was perfect for that. There is a taxi stand within a 2 minute walk and our 7 person group never had a problem getting a taxi quickly. The home is beautiful with plenty of space for our group. We struggled with the heat, as Dublin had sunny day after sunny day when we were there, most evenings when we came home it was extremely hot in the apartment. Otherwise, the apartment met our needs and we had a great stay!
