Katie's flat is located very close to the city center, just a few minutes walk to the Ha'penny Bridge, Temple Bar area, most of the main sights of the city and the airport shuttle bus stop. We stayed four nights and did not use transportation at all. There is a Tesco just around the corner and the shopping center of the city just one road further. Even Katie was away when we arrived her dad was there to meet and greet us and also was very flexible with the check-in and check-out times. The flat was well equipped and overall we enjoyed our stay in Dublin.
