Karin's apartment looks exactly as it does in the photos on AirBnB, if not better. It's a true Georgian flat that is quite lovely and ideal for any guest: well organized, lots of light, clean linens and privacy. The antique shutters are wooden and it was delightful to have them around because I visited during the wintertime. So, at night,they held in all the heat and kept me warm. And in the day, the morning light came in so beautifully through the glass windows. It was a daily task I enjoyed whilst staying there: drawing the shutters and re-opening them.

The flat also has a nice book collection, potpourri and decorative artwork. With the inclusion of high-speed internet. And Karin has a comprehensive guide that she made herself for all guests... I used it a lot in the beginning to find grocery stores, restaurants and local pubs. She was also kind enough to leave a Visitor's Map and marked it with all the best museums, libraries, gardens and more.

The multi-story home itself is very beautiful with its crown molding, stairwell, and artwork. Within the flat, I enjoyed my stay here because I slept well. I could type and write and relax before-and-after long periods in town. Cooking on the gas stove was enjoyable in the kitchen and the cabinets/drawers were stocked with all supplies. And the glass shower was clean and refreshing with plenty of room to groom and get ready for a night out.

Upon arrival, Karin even left some eggs, juice, butter, milk and granola for me in the kitchen, which was greatly appreciated after traveling across the ocean.

I felt like a local Dublin girl for a few weeks and it's a visit I will always remember. Cheers!
