Great location, friendly and helpful host. The apartment is small, attractively furnished and decorated, and very comfortable; it gets lots of light, which was key for overcoming jet lag; and the terrace/deck adds a great extra space. The double bed has an extra-firm mattress, which I appreciate. There is an extra long, deep bathtub that was wonderful for soaking. The unit is extremely quiet which was lovely given that this is a multi-unit building. The location was great for exploring Dublin - it's a block from a bus line that takes you straight to the City Center. There is a coffee shop and a lovely organic grocery store in the front of the complex (the Old Chocolate Factory/Kilmainham Square comprises a set of several buildings) and the pub that is kattycorner from the complex, the Patriot' Inn, served the best fish & chips (from fresh-caught hake) that I have ever had. Be aware that in order to get down to the level where the entrance to Ailbhe's apartment building door is, you have to carry your bags down a very long (like several flights) of concrete outdoor steps. Another word to the wise - if you're going to use the public transportation system, be sure to buy your "Leap" visitor pass at the airport! There is only one location in Dublin proper to buy these, so it's much better to pick it up when you are still at the airport. If you don't remember that, then the central bus depot near The Spire is where you'll have to go.
