We loved the folks that owned this place. They were warm and friendly and always happy to see us at the end of the night. We were staying in the apartment above their pub. They had loads of tips on places to go, they made arrangments for us at restaurants and with tours and introduced us to their friends that came to the pub in the evenings. The apartment was in a bit small and needs some remodeling, and of course, was rather noisy in the evenings. We couldn't have had a better introduction to Dublin due to meeting them.
