Grainne made us feel very welcome - she stopped by the first morning to make sure we had everything we needed and knew how to get around.
The description of the place was very accurate.
The neighborhood was just outside Dublin's city centre - walkable by about 35 minutes. But also very accessible by bus and tram! The neighborhood seemed to be a little older, and there weren't a ton of options close by, but again, it was very easy to get to the city centre, so that didn't really matter. Plus there is a grocery story very close by and the apartment had a cute backyard area - so it made it really easy to stay in and cook your meals or enjoy some wine outside before going out.
