We spent a wonderful week in Dublin. Cathal's apartment is perfectly fine. Very tasteful furniture and functional equipment, enough space for everybody. Ideal for a family of three or four. The location is really great, so that you can walk to a lot of the attractions. Whenever we had a question Cathal answered immediately and was always ready to help. Even if you arent't keen on walking around Dublin in the evenings, there's a lot you can do in the apartment. Cathal has thought of everything: TV, netflix, Wii, games, books, ... There are a lot of brochures which inspire you to choose activities you can do or things to visit. There's full kitchen equipment - you can prepare your own meals perfectly. You will even find a freezer, so that ready-to-dish meals are also a good idea. Check-in and check-out are absolutely flexible. Even if you arrive late, there won't be any problem.
I really recommend the accomodation. Cathat is a great host.
