We had a great stay at Siobhan's apartment. It is a basement flat, with plenty of light and as spacious as described in the ad. The apartment was spotlessly clean and comfortably furnished, with all the amenities one could possibly need. As some people have said, the flat does go out to the road, so for light sleepers this may be something to consider, but didn't bother us. During the night the area was fairly quiet and felt safe throughout. The location is excellent - about 15 minutes walk to the main sights in Dublin, but very close to shops and restaurants, with lots of choice and diversity. We especially enjoyed the nascent Chinatown around the corner. During our weekend stay we never had to resort to using public transport, that's how close the apartment is to everything. Siobhan was a great host - very prompt in responding and very clear in her instructions. Just like you would want! The bus to the airport leaves from right outside the door, which was an extra bonus. All in all would definitely recommend! If you are considering a stay in Dublin and the city centre flats seem too expensive, this is a great alternative, we would come back again.
