If you've never been to Dublin before, Hilary's place is perfectly located - a short 10 minute walk to the heart of the city center (Temple Bar, Trinity College, Grafton Street, etc). Although the apartment isn't large, it is spotless and truly has everything you could need - washing machine, extremely comfortable double bed, a shower that doesn't run out of hot water, hair dryer, spare umbrella, etc. Hilary responds immediately to any inquiries you may have and is as flexible as possible with early check-ins / late check-outs. She really goes out of her way to be a responsive, accomodating host. If you're traveling to Dublin alone or in a couple, I'd recommend this place as a great stay close to all the tourist sights.
