My friends and I had a great stay at Paul's apartment. It has a great location (just a 10 minute walk from the centre) and accessibilty to public transport. Paul suggested a pub nearby the apartment for eating, which turned out as a great dinner experience. Another place closeby, called The Schoolhouse Porter, is also a great place for lunch or dinner. There's a supermarket 2 minutes from the apartment and a walk to the closest train station (Grand Canal Docks) is just a 5 minutes walk away. We took the train to Howth, a pretty coastal town. The trip takes around 35 minutes. Paul and his apartment offer everything you need for a great time in Dublin!!!
