Michael and Maylene’s place was bigger than expected. It was spotless and the location was amazing! It was a 2 min walk to Christ Church, 4 min to Dublin Castle and just a block from the action of Temple Bar, Jameson and Grafton St were also in walking distance. Michael was very quick to respond with questions and suggestions. Maylene met us at the apt. gave us a tour and proceeded to recommend great food options, shopping and showed us a map of Dublin which had hot spots marked out. A cafe located just downstairs was convenient for a quick bite or coffee. No shortage of food options nearby. It was quiet and we did not hear the bustle of Temple bar from our room at night. You can hear the church bells ring all day, I didn’t notice them after awhile and they were not too loud to sleep.
