I recently stayed in this apartment for two weeks. Karin lives on the top floor of this restored Georgian house in Mountjoy Square herself, while flats on lower floors are rented out. As she has managed the restoration herself, there are some rules for staying here -- no heeled shoes on interior floors, for example. This is to be expected! The flat is big enough for two adults plus maybe a small child. The kitchen is small but very well-appointed; linens are excellent quality, and all furnishings are quite nice. The building itself is secure and well-cared for. With that said, it is an old building and we had a minor hiccup with the wifi, but Karin sorted everything out very quickly and efficiently. One day she brought down a loaf of homemade banana-orange bread, which was just perfect with a cup of tea. There are plenty of grocery shops, butchers, and interesting restaurants within just a few minutes' walk of the flat, and great shopping at Henry St and Jervis St just a bit further. The quays are only five minutes' walk from that point. You won't need a car at all! I would gladly stay in Karin's flat again.
