We loved our stay on Waterloo. The apartment is beautiful with very high ceilings, tall windows, lots of beautiful design features. You get a sense of the history when you stay in a 220 year old house. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking and even with quite a bit of food. It was all very comfortable and elegant. We liked the location which is quiet but a short distance to local pubs, restaurants, and a tesco for groceries. We signed up for dublinbikes and there are two bike pods fairly close by. That's what we used for transportation and it worked out great, touring Dublin partly by bike and partly walking. Highly recommended, unless you're planning on Temple Bar nightlife.
