The apartment is cozy and as advertised. We didn't get a chance to meet Michael but his sister Emer met us when we got in pretty late and night and was very welcoming. Although the apartment is small, being a studio, the renovations are very well done and there's everything you could need. It's about a 20-minute walk from the center, and there are places to eat and drink in the area. Unfortunately we weren't able to reach Michael or his sister as we were leaving, which made it a bit tricky since we had to get to the airport, but we ended up hiding the keys which worked fine.
