We loved our stay in Karin's oval Georgian studio. Karin met us with a bottle of Prosecco and some home-made cordial. We felt as if we were staying with an old friend who was glad to see us. The room is gorgeous. There's everything you could possibly need for cooking and a nice vegetable market 2 minutes away. We never took taxis or trains, since anything we wanted to do was an easy walk, even though Mountjoy Square seems a bit out of the centre. Karin was incredibly knowledgeable about Dublin and Ireland. We took every one of her recommendations, including a daytrip on the DART train to the seaside town of Greystones, which allowed us to see why the air rings with the cries of gulls. It is a delightful surprise to walk from the street into the elegance and peace of this beautifully decorated house. It was everything we expected it to be. We were there in a heatwave, but someday I'd love to be there in cold mist, with a fire on the grate. We had lovely times sipping wine with Karin in the long, long Dublin dusk. Highly recommended.
