Staying in Emma’s place was great - very comfortable stay with a clean and private bedroom and en suite.
We never actually met Emma - we were checked in by her brother who was very nice and accommodating considering we got lost in the way from Belfast and were later than expected. It would have been nice to meet Emma - we expected to share the place but ended up having it all to ourselves.
We had no issues with noise because we were up before 8 each day, although there is a day care/Montessori under the apartment which might be nice to know if you’re a light sleeper. It was extremely quiet for us at night.
A lot of the attractions we wanted to get to (temple bar, Trinity, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, etc) were further than expected (40-60 minutes walk) so we ended up taking the bus a lot. The 123 and the 14 get you there and back in a much more timely manner. Just FYI for busing: coins only (no bills) but we recommend getting a Leap card if you are there a few days.
The place is clean and bright with a beautiful en suite and comfy bed. Lots of space and storage. Thanks Emma!
