Absolutely loved the location of Micheal's one-bedroom Smithfield apartment. I was in Dublin on work and was no more than a 5 minute walk from the office. If you are just visiting Dublin for pleasure though, the location is fantastic as well. You are across the square from Jameson Distillery as well as a hop-on/hop-off bus stop. There is a Luas (light rail) station at the bottom of the square and you are about a 15/20 minute walk from both Guinness Storehouse and Temple Bar. Plenty of dining and drinking establishments around the square as well as two markets - Fresh (think Whole Foods) and Lidl. The apartment itself is clean and functional. Though you might get a bit of noise from the square in the early evening, I found it quiet at night and little noise from neighbors. Overall, I enjoyed staying here and would do so again.
