Joanne's place is PERFECT!
Location. It's safe and a short walking distance to all our needs. We booked our bus tours and all the meeting places were a five minute walk. One was at the Molly Malone statue and the Game of Thrones' tour was at the Hilton Inn Custom House. There's a Starbucks, a donut shop and a cafe on the first floor. Lots of restaurants and bars nearby, and a 5 minute walk to the Temple Bar street.
We love the apartment. It's bright, clean, safe, modern, nicely decorated, spacious and it has everything that we need. Joanne is a SUPER HOST! My husband and I arrived almost midnight, and she was available to answer my phone call. Excellent communication and responded to all my inquiries, and I had a lot.
I can't wait to go back to Dublin and definitely will be staying at Joanne's place again.
