Our family of three stayed at Ernie's place (apartment 2) the last week of August into the first week of September and we can't recommend it enough! The apartment itself was clean, spacious and had basic necessities needed for a comforable stay. If we needed anything Ernie was readily and happily available to provide it. The location can't be beat! Within walking distance are so many cafes (we recommend Urban Grind a couple doors down from the apartment for great coffee and breakfast), restaurants (Monroe's Tavern around the corner had great lunch), pubs (The Crane Bar next door for drinks and awesome local, traditional music at night), and shops. Also just a block or two away are the popular Latin Quarter and Quay areas for tons more shopping, eating, and entertainment options along with sightseeing. Ernie was a highlight of our trip too. He showed us around the neighborhood a bit when we first arrived because it was early in the morning before nearby businesses were open, which we thought was such a kind gesture (among others he provided during our stay). We can't wait to return. In summary, just book this place..you won't regret it!
