Rafael has a small but cozy appartment in a nice quiet residential part of Dublin. It's within walking distance of the lovely Phoenix Park but you can also get into the city centre easily thanks to the excellent bus service. It makes a great base if you're coming to Dublin for an event at Croke Park as it's a very straightforward journey to the stadium from this side of the city. Rafael was a very kind host who gave me great directions to his place and kept in touch with me throughout my stay . Definitely to be recommended !
