Great area, staff, and breakfast. From the airport take the 16 or 13 and get off at upper O'Connell St Upper, stop 277(lighted "DUBLIN" sign then cross the street) Can purchase the leap pass 18 euros for the 3 day in a shop by the busses. Save the money to get a taxi (about 10 euros) when your done exploring for the day. Plenty of eating options, there is a portal to see other cities around the world down the street. The negatives: the phone was nor functional to call out or reception, fluctuations in water temperature scolding to cold sporadically, the light in the hallway had no switch and you had to remove the key so no ability to charge as you slept.
