Gareth's place was on the top floor of his apartment block near the Grand Canal on Charlotte Quay Dock. It was about a 20-30min taxi ride from the airport, a 20 min walk into the city centre, 25 mins to. St Stephens Green and 30 mins to Dublin Castle. The Guiness storehouse is about 50 minutes away so best to taxi. We were given plenty of towels and he let us use the washing machine which we urgently needed. Tea and coffee and body wash/shampoo/conditioner were provided however he was missing a hairdryer. The Wifi was fast and shower was great. The Italian coffee/bakery place downstairs across the bridge Il Valentino has the best croissants and coffee! The nearest Tesco was about a 10-15 min walk and the nearest ATM is across the canal- bank of Ireland. Overall it well suited our short stay in Dublin. We also found a great little pizza place down the road called Basil Pizza! Worth a visit too.
