We had a great stay at Carmel's place. Throughout the process she answered my questions swiftly. On the day of arrival, she and her husband greeted us very nicely giving informations on where to go and what to do (errands and visits). The appartment is as shown on the pictures and stocked with basics (tea, coffee, chips, water Guiness!, etc). I am pleased with the choice of being in the Docks area (20 minutes walk to the city centre and so close to the Dart train to go to Howth or other places). I do recommend both the location and our hosts highly. Should I do it over again, this would be my number choice. One note for future travellers to Dublin: there are many tourism offices in the city but only one official one! The official one - although it is not as visible as the others - has lots and lots of great documentation on the city-country. The other ones mostly sell tours. We did the one to Moher Cliffs. A nice tour if you have the time. We also went to Wicklow-Glendalough which is a nice outing as well but not out of this world if you live in an area close to nature.
