We had a lovely stay at Frieda’s apartment. The high ceilings and warm furnishings, as well as the bowl of fresh strawberries upon arrival, made for a pleasant environment. The location is ideal if you want to be outside of Temple Bar and the busy city centre. There are lots of great cafes along Hanover Quay, in the opposite direction from the city. Make sure you have a reservation if you go to Herbstreet, which served a delicious breakfast. With the location, we did walk to Guinness, but it was a very long walk, so we made use of the plentiful taxis in the city for most of our stay. We had a rental car, so were able to arrange onsite parking with Frieda. We highly recommend this as it was much more convenient than using a car park, and our car was in a locked, gated backyard. One thing to note is there are a lot of stairs, whether the back spiral staircase to get to the car/back gate, or inside the apartment to navigate the split levels.
We can’t say enough about Frieda as a host. She greeted us upon arrival and gave us lots of recommendations for places to eat and things to do. She was incredibly responsive with questions and promptly resolved the one issue that came up during our stay. Frieda is a fantastic host and made our stay in Dublin very enjoyable. Thank you, Frieda!!
