My girlfriend and I stayed for the weekend at Noelene’s place and loved it! The place was clean and located in the beautiful area of Rathgar/Rathmines, with many great bars and restaurants.
The transport into the city is about half an hour but very easy and buses are right at the end of the street.
Carmel was also really great with messaging and checking in etc.
The only downside was we didnt get to meet Noelene!
