Karin was a fabulous host and her apartment was the perfect place to stay in Dublin. Close enough to walk everywhere but out of the hustle and bustle of the city. Karin spent a good chunk of time with us to advise us where to go, where not to go, where to eat, how long things will take, etc, etc. she sent us out with a very detailed map of the city. We had a great time and definitely felt like we had good local advice about the city.
