If I could give this location as well as Doug a 10 star review I would. I could not have picked a more perfect location to be centrally located to all the things we wanted to do and see for our first trip to Ireland. The townhouse is perfectly located w/in easy distance from Dublin central as well as across the river to locations a bit north of the city center. The neighborhood is quiet and where the townhouse is it's tucked back into a private courtyard area with a gate so you feel secure. There is so much life and wonderful character to the local area I look forward to visiting again, and recommending this location to family and friends. Doug w/co-host Judy are lovely people who are very easy to communicate with and ask questions about the area or where to go. Doug was beyond friendly and made sure myself as well as my travel companions were doing well and enjoying our stay without being intrusive. Thanks a million Doug and best wishes!
