Hard to beat this location! The apartment is nicely set up for relaxing and making small meals should you wish to stay in. But since you are perfectly positioned for exploring Dublin on foot or using the tram/bus system, you probably won’t hang around the apartment much. The street is small and narrow, but surprisingly busy. With lots of new construction in the neighborhood there were trucks idling under the window quite frequently as they made morning drop offs to the site. And lots of lively folks returning from the bars late into the night too. It was Pride weekend with big events nearby so it might have been more hopping than usual. You are in the heart of a bustling city, so activity comes with the territory. Bring your earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Joe is an accommodating host and very helpful. Speedy with communication, which is much appreciated!
