Connor did a great job of staying in touch with us giving almost immediate replies. He accommodated a very late arrival due to flight changes and was always solicitous regarding our needs. His location is quiet and safe. Although not in the city center, it is well situated and only a 5 to 10 minute walk to the tram system. The Kilmainham Gaol is very close and the free museum is excellent even if you do not take the tour. The Gaol is also a stop for the hop on hop off busses and they give a good city tour. The 10 euro yellow bus is good value. Dublin is a very walkible city from the down town area and the people helpful and welcoming.
