We traveled to Dublin from the US, and couldn't be more pleased with our stay. Alessandro's apartment is clean, nicely decorated, and well equipped. It is conveniently located - we walked to Temple Bar, shopping areas, tourist attractions, and to the DART station (Tara Street) for more distant excursions. We also used the Hop on Hop off bus stop across the river from the apartment. The view from the balcony is nice, and the apartment is in a quiet area. Alessandro met us on our arrival from the airport, gave us a quick tour of the accommodations, and stayed in communication. All in all, we had a fantastic experience.
