Karin was a very informative and kind host. We were coming from Limerick and she took the time to advise places to stop along the way via email before arriving. While checking in she gave us a tour of the beautifully decorated apartment and instructions regarding heat, recycling, fireplace ect. She has compiled a binder of very useful Dublin tourist information for her guests. She also was kind enough to stock the fridge with essential-going above and beyond! The apartment itself is cozy but larger than pictures portrait. However, the loft is a bit tight. I am 5'1 and fit perfectly, Pierre is 5'11 and bumped his head when he awoke (could be blamed on the Dublin pubs from the night before). This comfy home away from home is just outside busy Dublin. Pierre and I were only in town for 2 cold, sprinkling and SO windy nights but we walked to and from the city center without hesitation; just an umbrella. When we head back to Dublin we will reserve again for sure
