Tom was very quick in his responses both before and during our stay, and we could not have had a more relaxed stay in Dublin! Even though the location isn't extremely central, you can get to the Temple Bar area in less than half an hour by bus, and even less than that if you take a taxi. The apartment itself had everything we possibly needed, and there was no noise at all during the night. We were also delighted by the service and quality of the Fothergills cafe, so much so that we couldn't resist buying some of the homemade jam and marmalade to take back home! Would definitely recommend.
