The place is 25 minutes walk from the centre. Taking the bus or LUAS is quite expensive, about 3 pounds for a single journey. Lots of drunk people around, I helped one of them one day as he was lying on the pavement. Another day a bike was stolen from the shop next to the flat. The floor had not been cleaned properly, and the bed sheet and duvet cover didn't look clean. The shop next to the flat is very expensive. Water is a bit of an issue, as if you forget to put the timer on you can't get a hot shower. On the positive side, the big bus stops just in front of the flat. We did a ticket for the entire stay and we could move easily. The Guinness storehouse is around the corner. Christian is very friendly and responsive, and allowed us to leave the luggage after check out. Many trips to Lidl nearby (10 mins walk) which has good prices. Overall we managed to have a good holiday.
