Karin’s place was wonderful! The space has a ton of character. It was very clean and comfortable and felt safe for a single traveler. The breakfast snacks and tea/coffee Karin provided was super convenient. It’s about a 15 minute walk from city centre (attractions like Trinity college, temple bar, etc). So you’re not right in the middle of the tourist area and can get more of an authentic feel, but also can walk to all the attractions. As mentioned in the ad, it is on a busy street so expect street noise all day/night. I slept just fine. I really enjoyed the extra touches like the DVD library. Would certainly stay again!
