Tucked away at the end of a lane off busy Rathgar Road, Sean's place is remarkably quiet. Up one flight of stairs, you will find a compact but comfortable and very clean two-bedroom flat. The state-of-the-art kitchen and bath, complete with concealed appliances and copper cookware, reflect a high-end design and color sense.
The neighborhood would appear to be an affluent one, with many Georgian homes. Regrettably, the exterior of Sean's building is less attractive, in contrast to the sparkling interior.
The closest stores are a 5- to 10-min. walk, and buses run reliably in all directions.
I didn't meet Sean, but he was responsive and accomodating. His place was a pleasant base for me for a few days.
