This was perfect for our stay in Dublin. It had everything we needed for two and was close to the city centre--it was a short bus ride, the buses came regularly and the bus stops were only a block away. However we spent most evenings in the Rathgar and Terenure areas close by as there were plenty of good restaurants and pubs within walking distance to choose from. We even had free parking just outside the unit in the back alley--so it was easy to come and go. We felt safe in the area and my husband found some good running routes. Richard and Patricia were great hosts, ensuring quick responses to our questions and that we had everything we needed. The photos accurately represented the unit. We loved the Bijou Bistro close by--good thing we only discovered it during the last few days, otherwise we would have had coffee, donuts and chocolate croissants every morning!
