We stayed for one night at Paul's place. He was able to accommodate a later check-in time, which was very nice. The place itself is right off O'Connell. It's on a street that has a lot of Asian restaurants. We weren't expecting to have some of the best Vietnamese food we'd ever had in Ireland, but we did! (Highly recommend Pho Viet) The apartment is on the ground level and the bedroom window is right across from entrance gate. Thankfully this didn't bother us too much and people weren't too noisy the night we stayed. If you're a light sleeper, I recommend earplugs at night. Paul responded quickly and we had a good stay, overall!
