Karin’s lovely Georgian house apartments were the perfect beginning to our Ireland adventure. The apartments were well-appointed, comfortable and had the makings of home. She also provided for parking for our rental vehicles for a small fee which was a real benefit to us.
Karin was a delight in her friendliness and willingness to share favorite spots in her city. She provided books and maps and local info to allow the group of us many options for spending our time. The location was a comfortable walk to O’Connell Street, a hub of shopping, mass transit, pubs and the like. We could walk from there to the Temple Bar or even catch a bus or cab from there.
Being that we were so far off our own time zone (Pacific Time), we found ourselves up late at night and sorting through a book shelf. To our delight, we found a wonderful book about Georgian houses in Ireland and the effort to renovate and restore them. It was a real delight and surprise to see Mountjoy Square mentioned in the book. Our own Georgian apartment became even more special to us as we learned of how many of the beautiful homes had been destroyed over the years, but Karin’s remained. Very nice!
