Nicola's apartment is fantastic. It is the perfect place to stay if you want to be in the thick of it all: a stone's throw from the Castle, Temple Bar and more pubs/restaurants than you could ever frequent. I stayed with my colleague for the WebSummit week and it was a great set up for us, with a huge kitchen/living area to work in. It's also opposite a beautiful independent, luxury grocer for all your stocks and supplies.
