I would recommend the place if you like nature, and great walks in the Phoenix park. The neighborhood is lovely, but it is a bit far from the center of town if that is a priority. We experienced the apartment more than everything else. My husband was diagnosed with pneumonia as soon as we arrived in Dublin which meant we had to cancel everything and spend all our time in the apartment for 2 weeks. I have to say I really appreciated the comfortable bed, the sofa, the great Bosch dishwasher, cooker, and microwave. Some minor suggestions for improvement: instructions about recycling, including composting (being more eco-oriented would include adding more dishes so we don't have to run the dishwasher almost empty; I ended up cleaning by hand, but there is no dish drying rack); provide a teapot, and a French press (the coffee machine is not great). As I said, however, these are minor things: I would highly recommend the place, and we plan to come back. Diarmund is a lovely host!
