Visiting Dublin with friends for the first time, we have really appreciate the perfect location as well as the recommendations of Garrett for restaurants and pubs.
The decoration of the apartment and feel like like at home. In the bathroom there was shampoo and toothpaste so you don't need to bring this in your luggage which is convenient due to the heavy security control in the airports.
The street where the apartment is located is quite noisy but it's the normal consequence of being so central.
I would highly recommend Garrett's apartment for your next stay in Dublin.
