We had a good time. Viny replied quickly to our questions about heating controls etc and he let us check out a little late to coincide with our transport arrangements.
The apartment is very central and we were able to walk to pretty much everywhere we wanted to visit.
The front door to the building is set back next to the KFC that is beneath the apartment. When it's cold and wet, less fortunate Dubliners may shelter there so open the front door gently when you're going out.
The rooms are large, the bed was comfortable and we probably would have given 5 stars but the decor and some of the trimmings are just a little tired for the price.
