Elaine is an excellent and friendly host - and check in and check out was smooth - we checked in early on Friday which was great. The flat is modern and comfortable and and Elaine had left it stocked with milk, eggs, and bread. The location is really excellent with all needed shops on the same street, its close to the Luas (tram) and also close to Rathgar where you can get regular buses into the city. I can strongly recommend the staying here.
