I cannot recommend this space enough.
1) LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION. Everything you want to do & see in Dublin is a mere stone's throw away. & I can't even throw that well.
2) SO MUCH FOOD. I'm not a big eater. I'm a person that could happily eat cup noodles on a whole trip. Frugal traveler and all that. But between the Spar right next to the building, and the dozens of pubs and restaurants on the block, we were all happy. I did NOT expect to find a mix of Brazilian, Indian, and Italian food within my line of sight in that space but the options were seemingly endless.
3) Personal note: My group had a series of flight changes, cancellations, and general alterations due to both COVID and general airline messiness (as happens sometimes). We were so flustered / sad / angry, but Pat and her husband were the calm in the storm. They were amazingly responsive and helpful during all of our changes. I dang near wanted to leave them a bouquet of flowers.
4) *Wee bonus* If you stay during a bank holiday, nearby parking is free.
Norn Iron's cultural sweetness & hospitality from the host combined with the lovely iconic sights of the South. You can't beat it. This was not my first visit or stay in Dublin and I'm confident I wouldn't ask stay anywhere else if I head back down.
If you can't stay here, at least look nearby on the map. Seriously. You won't regret it
