Our stay in Karin's flat was absolutely wonderful, it was exactly as I expected it to be. The pictures accurately depicted the flat and it was easy to find after receiving the address and looking it up on Google maps. It was so nice to have the full kitchen for the week so that we didn't have to eat out every meal and we could buy our own groceries as well as take home leftovers. It was also so nice that Karin left us some groceries. The place was fully stocked - all linens supplied, a hairdryer, iPhone charger, and many helpful guides and pamphlets. It was also so nice to know that Karin was right upstairs if we needed anything. The area was pretty quiet, although we could hear some street noise at night, but I think that's about as quiet as it gets in the city. We were facing the front of the building and were able to see across to the park and see what was going on. We were also a pretty short walk down to some attractions, approximately 20 minutes to the River Liffy, Temple Bar, Trinity College, shopping, etc. We felt very at home!
