Rebecca answered all my texts/messages immediately, which was great. As an American staying in a European apartment, there was a small learning curve, but by the second morning I was a pro at figuring everything out! I loved making my own breakfast each morning in the kitchen. One thing to note, if you are always cold (like me), there is only one portable heater in the apartment, I'm not sure if that's typical in Ireland apartments or not (I stayed at the end of November). It wasn't chilly, but I like it hot. The walk from the apartment to the main downtown area with restaurants & pubs was quick, and it was an easy walk with my luggage to the train station. And I even walked up to Salt Hill one evening. I liked the location, I felt more like a resident than a tourist.
