We had a great experience staying at Eileen's apartment this week.

She was very accommodating (she even let us in at 6 a.m. when we arrived after a flight!) and was very quick to respond to email queries.

The apartment itself was clean, spacious, and well set-up for doing some light cooking or laundry, if you're planning to stay awhile.

I know that some commenters have expressed concern about the distance from Dublin's city centre. It is about a 20-30 minute walk to reach the thick of things.

However, we preferred to be slightly out of the downtown core. Phibsborough is its own unique neighbourhood with nearby cafes (try Woodstock) and pubs (we liked The Back Page, just at the corner).

We enjoyed the walk in and out each day and felt totally safe (although likely would have called a taxi were we coming back latenight). Speaking of taxis, the apartment is a €25 taxi from the airport in light traffic (early morning, in our case).

We also enjoyed being close to Phoenix Park, where we spent one lovely morning biking around and sitting in a cafe in the park.

Thanks so much, Eileen! We would highly recommend this place.
