I stayed at Karin's place with my teenage daughter in October and found the flat really charming. Karin was a great hostess, so warm and helpful and a lot of fun to talk to. The flat is a 15-minute walk from the centre and we never used public transport. We loved Dublin, and the flat - and whole building - added to that special feeling of being in a place with a lot of character. We had to catch a really early flight home, but Karin got up to personally see us off at the bus stop and make sure that we got on the right bus to the airport! That was so kind of her, and we felt we were in good hands the whole stay. Quite imprtant for a mother and daughter on holiday..
