You cannot get more central and more quiet than Michael and Karina's apartment. Walking through the building to the central courtyard that the apartment faces is like entering a different world (filled with beautiful roses and birds, and almost silent), and yet it's only a 2-5 minute walk to everything Temple Bar and Dublin has to offer. Furnishings were comfortable and Michael was in communication the whole time. I would definitely recommend their apartment to anyone who wants to stay in the heart of Dublin.
