This is a perfect flat for someone who is coming to Dublin to experience the night life. We had some early morning departure times, so the street parties going on until after 1:00 AM were a bit of a problem for part of our group. The pub downstairs wasn't much of an issue, but the people in the street could be loud. Overall it was a nice flat and Colin was a great host. The pub downstairs appears to be the place to be in Dublin, it was packed both nights we were there.
