We stayed at Eileen's place for 5 nights while in Dublin. We really appreciated the recommendations sent beforehand with regard to nearby attractions as well as the very clear directions to the place. Eileen was kind enough to leave milk in the fridge so that we could have a cup of coffee immediately after traveling for 24 hours.

The apartment itself is small but more than sufficient for 2. The kitchen is well-equipped and we had everything we needed. There was a fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle, and stove that were all in working order. It was clean and Eileen was there to welcome us and give a few more recommendations. She also went to trouble to ensure that there was a working hair dryer upon our arrival.

Access was easy and the is a bus stop right out the door which takes you to the city center and also goes directly to/from the airport. Having said that we found the distance to the city center more than a comfortable walk - it took about 20 minutes when strolling comfortably. We really liked that the apartment was just far enough from the buzz of the most central parts to be quiet at night while still being close enough to get to all bars, restaurants, etc. within a few minutes.

I would definitely recommend Eileen's place to anyone wanting to explore Dublin and its surrounds for a few days. Friends who were also in the city at the time and staying elsewhere commented on how lovely and convenient this space is. We're looking forward to hopefully staying there again one day!
