must say the apartment was great! incredible location! central to everything without being in the middle of the mob! my only concern was how quiet it would be because it fronted a busy traffic street but at night it was super quiet and not a problem! also nice to have a spar grocery store across the street and great that john provided a selection of breakfast items! also super fast wifi was great! and even though not really a tourist zone you had a number of excellant pubs! especially the legendary mulligans! a great place to end the day with a pint of guiness! john was a great host totally responsive to all my questions and concerns! i recommend his apartment highly!
