This is the perfect base for single travelers or couples wishing to get the most out of Dublin. It is centrally located between the most popular districts. Everything is walking distance. Hilary was very nice to send me a list of restaurants and bars as well as fun things to do in the neighborhood. Dublin is fun. I highly recommend the Ruby Sessions @ Doyle's Pub (Intimate concert setting featuring a wide range of musical styles and acts from all over the world. The venue doesn't allow talking when the bands are performing and the sets are short with nice breaks in between). I also recommend visiting the bar at the top of the Guinness Brewery for stunning views of the city. Closes early. Check website for last entry time.
