My husband and I had a lovely stay at Karen's place. It is in a quiet neighborhood for being so close to the city and all the furnishings in the apartment were lovely. The pictures are very accurate-the home is gorgeous! my husband and I took advantage of the cute restaurants right down the street and also rented a car from the Thrifty right around the corner to take an overnight trip to Kilkenny and Cabra Castle. Karen was one of the best hosts I've met-so pleasant and eager to help us in anyway she could, she was a joy. One thing to note if you're American like us is that the bed IS a king-size but not an American king size- its probably a queen size in US - but you will be hard-pressed to find any sort of American king size bed in Dublin so it wasn't a bother to us at all.
