My family fully enjoyed staying at Mark and Tahra's apartment. It exceed our expectations as it was exactly as described. Mark's quick and detailed communication before and during our trip eliminated our anxiety about traveling and staying in a new city. Upon arrival Mark and Tahra provided a plentiful stock of fruits, breakfast foods, drinks, etc, this was such a special welcome to their home and was much appreciated after a long day of traveling. Check in was a breeze with an arranged early check, another appreciated special consideration to make our family vacation stress-free. The apartment was so very clean, bright and spacious in a great location within easy access to public transportation and walkable distance to all Dublin has to offer allowing us to save money and time on taxis. 2 extra single beds fit into the main bedroom allowing our 6 family members to stay comfortably in the apartment. The layout of the apartment was perfect to give privacy between the sleeping areas and the social gathering area. The train definitely runs close to the apartment but we did not find it loud or disruptive in any way. The back bedroom does not hear it at all. I will highly recommend this Stylish Trinity College & Temple Bar apartment, as well as Mark and Tahra as hosts, to anyone I hear is visiting Dublin.
