Nice apartment that is tucked away from the hustle & bustle of Dublin yet close to the city center.
Maria was accommodating and welcoming, and she left some Guinness beer and a bar of chocolate for us. (As well as some fruit - which we didn't know were for us... oh, well :))
The apartment had everything we needed, so cooking own own meals was a breeze. There is also a dishwasher (we didn't use it) and a washing machine (but no electric dryer - just a drying rack.)
Do get detailed instructions from Maria re: hot water! The water heater can have a mind of its own, LOL
The neighborhood is safe (it's gated) and generally quiet, with families with children living in nearby units (so sometimes it can get a bit loud but nothing crazy). The neighbors above and below were pretty quiet, as well.
There are coffee shops, grocery stores and restaurants within walking distance. The city center can be walked to by foot - or you can take a tram (5 min walk) or a bus (30 sec walk). All are clean, timely and convenient.
The wifi was fast and the connection was solid.
