Beautiful apartment in a very nice section of Dublin. The area is very residential -- lots of large homes and tree-lined streets -- but shopping and restaurants are within a mile or so. The above-ground tram, the Luas, is less than a 5-minute walk away and will get you downtown in 15-20 minutes. Nora was very helpful in answering questions and providing suggestions on things to do and see. The apartment itself fit our 3-member family very easily and feels very secluded, with access to a very green and lovely back yard. I would go there again and recommend it.
