Micheal is a great host! He gave us a nice orientation and lots of recommendations. During the middle of our stay he even left a package of sweets on our door. The apartment is in a great location, just a few minutes walk to most everything and the hop-on hop-off busses were right on the corner. Listen to the bells of Christchurch Cathedral right from your living room. Queen of Tarts is directly across from the apartment and has very good breakfast. The building felt safe a quiet with pleasant neighbors when we saw them. I recommend Michael's place for anyone that wants to be close to the action and fun of Temple Bar but not living directly in it.
