Nora’s place is terrific: very close to downtown for all the Dublin fun (about 15min on the tram, stop is 5min walk from house) but just far enough to be residential and quiet. Apartment is very very spacious with outstanding touches like rainforest showerhead and library/lounge. Nora was very helpful with local tips when I asked about dining options nearby. Nora has a dog and we did hear the dog bark on a few occasions in the evening, but it was only for a few minutes and never late, thus this was not an issue at all. Thank you Nora for the great Dublin hospitality!
