Great location!!!!!!! We had a wonderful stay here.
As per the previous reviews, yes, the pub and music are directly below the flat. If you go to bed early, bring earplugs; if you stay up later, go to the pub and enjoy the great music!
It's true about the wifi -- it's spotty in the flat and works best in the bathroom (??).
Gavin met us when we arrived. He wasn't completely pleased with the cleanliness and promptly called the cleaner. Better the second time around.
FYI, there are two M&S's nearby; the one across the river is much larger. We bought their prepared meals for a couple nights after touring and enjoyed them.
The tour busses pick up just a couple blocks away. We did a WildRover tour to Northern Ireland and liked it so much that we booked a second one to Kilkenny. The PaddyWagon and other tours are on a larger bus and pick up at the same location.
We hope to visit again and spend more time with Mick down in the pub!
