Stayed 9 nights. Bernard and Anne are good hosts, good communicators and were helpful in giving us various tips to enjoy the city of Dublin and surrounds. They were also kind to check that we were ok during the stay. The apartment had an excellent view of the canal and one can see a few watercraft about. It also had good building security so we felt safe. It was fairly spacious for both of us. Grocery store is across the canal and there are a few good restaurants close by. There are a few shortcomings though. The shower is weak and does not drain well, which is not to my liking...i prefer a good strong shower. Toilet flush is erratic and idiosyncratic. There is quite a bit of noise going well into the night from the busy bar downstairs...unfortunately the apartment is only on the second floor and not exactly a penthouse. If you are a light sleeper, it could be an issue. The city is not exactly near to walk to, but it is a level 2km walk. However there are regular buses from bus stop nearby, which is a good plus.
