We had an excellent stay at David's place. We loved the location as it was outside the hustle and bustle of downtown Dublin but had great restaurants nearby and easy transportation both to the centre of the city and to places outside of Dublin. Sarah was tremendous in helping us figure out how to get around (the Dublin bus app is great!) and Millie (the pup) was a little bundle of joy.
If you have the opportunity, take a walk or a jog along the creek in nearby Milltown to see the statue of the rhinoceros in the river. One of the strangest but most delightful things I've seen traveling in some time!
