Breandan's place worked well for the short stay my husband and I had in Dublin. Self check-in was convenient, and Breandan's support team was very responsive leading up to our stay and during our stay.
Looking back I might have chosen something closer to the river, since that ended up being the part of town we spent the most time in and was closer to city bus routes. But Breandan's place was still very walkable (we walked everywhere), and it was one of the more affordable places available.
