The apartment is located right in the heart of Dublin - 5 minutes walk to Trinity College and right behind the Temple Bar area (2 mins walk!). Entry to the apartment is a little off-putting at present as the restaurant below is presently undergoing refurbishment. Dee had pre-warned us that this was the case however so we were aware of this ahead of time.
Apartment is small and the bedroom is a little cramped. Enough space for two people for a short stay but a little tight if more than two planning to stay.
I can't say enough regarding Dee and Angelo as hosts. Our luggage was delayed in transit from the USA for 24 hours and rather than have us waste our time in Dublin waiting for it to be delivered Dee arranged for us to have it delivered to a nearby restaurant. Not only that, but when it was delivered, Angelo and a colleague immediately brought it to the apartment and even carried it up the stairs for us - amazing service! Dee was also a pleasure to communicate with priod to the trip and was very helpful in providing recommendations for restaurants, etc.
If you do stay at the apartment I'd recommend a visit to the the Toscana restaurant that is located very close by on Dame Street. Great Italian food and fantastic service from Angelo and other staff.
I'd highly recommend a stay at Castle View if you are planning a short stay in Dublin.
