Daragh's apartment in Dublin is wonderful! It is clean, well organized, and quite large by European standards. And, it's close to everything. We bought 3 day bus passes at the airport and ended up only using them to get to and from the airport. We could walk everywhere else we wanted to visit. Daragh has done a fabulous job modernizing the space with furnishings from Ikea and lovely decorative touches. And the view from the balcony is great.

Our flight was cancelled, which delayed our arrival by 4-5 hours. Daragh was sympathetic and stayed in contact with us through email (my phone didn't work in Europe) during each leg of our journey. When we finally arrived, Daragh's father Mick was waiting for us in a café across the street. Mick must be one of the most charming men in all of Ireland. With a twinkle in his eye and the knowledge of a seasoned tour guide, he sat us down and helped us get oriented. He showed us where all the sites were on a tourist map he gave us (it was a much better map than the one we had gotten at the airport), and told us about some great local restaurants.

There is a lovely café right across the street and a small market just a short way down the street. Dublin's most famous fish & chips place, Burdocks, is just right around the corner.

If you are traveling to Dublin, look no further than this lovely apartment for a great place to stay!.
