Karin is an excellent host. She provides her guests with extensive, detailed information to ensure that travel and check-in goes well, and to help them plan their itineraries while in Dublin. She personally took time to discuss our interests and give us advice. We appreciated her suggestions very much. Her apartment is lovely and beautifully equipped, and has a charming bookshelf full of good reading, much of it by Irish writers or about Ireland.
The single factor that was less than ideal was some traffic and pedestrian noise at night, but that's probably normal for city locations, and we were perhaps a bit sensitive to it, having just come from the relative silence of rural accommodations.
