We stayed in Joan's place for three nights during our family vacation in Dublin. The place located very close to city center however it is very quit and there is a free parking available. It is 15 walking to the O'Connell street, but since we traveled with two small kids that were not fond of long walking, we took bus #123 (bus stop located 3 minutes from the property) which can take you to all main places of interest in Dublin. Worth to mention that if you do not purchase the Luas card, make sure that you have enough coins to pay to the driver the exact amount (no banknotes accepted by the driver). Payment varies and depends on the travel destination. To summarize: Joan's property is quit, pleasantly comfortable and cozy and highly recommended.
