Location, safety, communication, and hospitality can’t be beat! Note, this isn’t an American hotel, so be prepared to be immersed in the Irish way of life: conservation of energy and natural resources and learning how to use a French press to make your morning coffee, if you’re not familiar with that. And maybe a smaller and less plush mattress than you are used to. But change is good! Being close to public transportation (including tours) and grocery stores and local pubs/restaurants and shopping and with so much of Dublin being within walking distance as well make this the perfect location if you are looking for a home base during your visit to Ireland. Ger is quick to respond with valuable info if you need her help. Early checkin is also available if the flat isn’t occupied the evening before.
