Check in for the apartment was easy-we picked up the keys at a designated location close to the apartment. The description of the location was great. Pictures of the apartment were accurate. It was in a residential building and neighborhood, with the normal amount of noise you would expect in a city. Easy to walk to Grafton St, Temple Bar, Trinity, St Stephen's Green, and Docklands. Good suggestions for local spots. Plenty of brochures/ideas for things to do in Dublin. Cathal was an excellent communicator. If you are looking for good accommodations with a kitchen and walkable location, this is a fine choice!
