The location of Pat's apartment is very handy for getting to Dublin city centre: you can walk to Dublin Castle in around 25 minutes, and would be at Trinity College/Grafton Street in 35-40 mins. Having a parking space is also a plus, just be aware it is quite tight to get into and out of unless you have a small car like a Nissan Micra. The apartment was clean and communication with Pat's support team was good. Having a lockbox makes check-in and check-out easy.
The apartment is located on a fairly busy road and as the apartment is close to the road, you need to be prepared for road noise, particularly those staying in the bedroom next to the first floor bathroom. Also be aware that the two bedrooms on the 2nd floor have roof windows, so there are no curtains/blinds on these windows.
The back garden has a table and chairs, and it is very pleasant sitting outside on a fine evening as we were able to do.
