My friends and I spent 2 night in Dublin and we started out at Karin's place in MountJoy which couldn't have been a better experiences. Karin is a true historian not only of Dublin but the whole of Ireland. She's also knowledgable when it comes to Georgian architecture in particular the area where she lives. we loved the cozy apartment and its central location. She gave us good tips on how to get around the city and advice on what transportation to take. Karin is a wonderful hostess.
