Paul made us feel very welcome as Amanda was away for the weekend. He drove us around the area so we could see where the bus stop was as well as the nearest grocery store. The bus stop to the city centre is no more than a 10 minute walk The apartment was as advertised in a residential area of Dublin. We spent a fun day in Dublin on our first day but sadly it was cold (4 C) and poured rain all day the following day so we found things to do inside. We loved the washing machine and the beds are very comfortable. We enjoyed our 3 days there.
