Hilary's place is in an ideal location. It's close to the many downtown venues - a 10 to 20 minute walk (Shopping businesses, Cafes, Pubs, Museums and Parks). The Guinness Storehouse is a 10-15 minute walk away. In addition, there is a Supermarket just across the street and a breakfast/lunch cafe right below the apartment. WiFi connection was excellent! There was some noise because of the busy traffic intersection close by, but it was also nice to sit by the window and watch all the hustle bustle going on just below (vehicles, transit buses, Hop on-Hop off buses, people on bikes and people walking)! Hilary was very quick in responding to the various questions we had about things to do and places to visit. We would definitely recommend Hilary's place to our friends if they plan to stay in Dublin!
