Micheal's mom met us at the apartment and instructed us on how to use the appliances etc. She was such a sweet and welcoming person. The apartment was very clean and in good repair. It is also located in a great area for sight seeing. A few blocks to the middle of Temple Bar and about a 15 minute walk to the Guinness plant. We were also able to catch the bus to the airport on the main street bordering where the apartment is located. And yes, the Queen of Tarts across the street is worth stopping by to try the pastries.
