My partner and I had a good time staying at Orla's apartment.

Her place is small, but it is clean, cosy and has everything you need (except for washing machine, but you can wash it yourself or go the laundrette at 2 minutes walk). The shower is in the bedroom, which is unusual, but we eventually enjoyed it and it didn't bother us at all. Too bad that the garden was totally overgrown during our stay, as Orla was away that year. It looked pretty, but we couldn't even take one step forward.

Orla is very nice and helpful. We arrived at the apartment almost at midnight, but she arranged everything so we could get the keys and go straight to sleep. We were delighted to see that she left some food for us (milk, eggs, bread, fruits, cookies, butter). She was quick to respond and provided us a lot of information and tips.

The neighborhood is quiet and safe, perfect to relax from the vibrant city center. Sometimes, we could hear the neighbours talking, but not frequently, so it didn't really bother us. The city center itself is close to the apartment, 10 minutes by bus (the bus stop is just at 2 minutes walk) or 30 minutes walking. At that bus stop, you can catch one bus that goes to Dublin airport in less than an hour. Next to that bus stop, there's a Tesco Express where you can shop for groceries. In short, the location of the apartment is really convenient.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Orla's apartment and would have been delighted to meet her in person.
