We stayed for two nights first time in Dublin; we were visiting our daughter who attends UCD. We arrived at 5:30 am and John was very accommodating to give the keys to our daughter and show her the apt as we could not be physically there for check in.
When we arrived from Canada jet lagged and tired, it was refreshing to walk into thoughtful items that John had left for us to enjoy on our first day!
The apartment was very close to the Temple Bar District and shopping on Grafton street!
I would recommend this stay if you are planning to visit Dublin.
