Place was very central. Outside door is bus stop and convenience store. 20 minute walk to temple bar and great nightlife and breakfast spots. Only downfall is the picture is deceiving and was hard to find front door. It is blue and about a block and half from the guiness archway shown in picture. Otherwise, easy to get in and he was friendly. Didn't meet him but he communicated well. No elevator and it is on 3rd floor.
