Though we didn't meet Tom face to face he was extremely communicative and made us feel very welcome. Checking in was really straightforward for us and one of the girls in fothergills directed us to good parking spaces just a street away. It's a short walk to Rathmines and really close to the centre of Dublin!
The studio itself was really clean and warm. It looked really well kept and felt very homely. The bed is really comfy and the shower is really good. There wasn't a cooker but that didn't matter too much as the food in fothergills and fresh and wyld will keep you happy!
There's also a bus stop down the road or if you get a cab it won't be more than €10 in to town!
