We really wanted to be in the center of everything and this was definitely the perfect location. Some of the reviews mentioned the noise in the area but that didn't bother us at all and I'm not sure there is a quiet place anywhere in Dublin. The only issue we had here was the wifi was for the most part unusable and it was kind of frustrating trying to get tours and trips booked online. Other reviews mentioned this but we kind of assumed it would have been fixed by the time we got there. Apartment was much cleaner than we expected it would be and my wife was very pleased.
