Deirdre's place is exactly as shown in the photos. Deirdre was a really good communicator and allowed me to check in early after an overnight flight, which was much appreciated! The apartment is about a 10 minute walk straight down the street from the more touristy area. The Spar grocery store around the corner was great for supplies and there's a fairly new cafe called Clement & Pekoe less than a five minute walk down the street. Breakfast at Lovinspoon, less than a 10 minute walk down the street, was also great! Deirdre's place offers great value in Dublin for solo travelers (as I was) and couples.
