UCD Bowl

The photos of the property are there, it is updated. What I didn’t really understand prior to arriving was the long set of stairs to drag my suitcase up. It’s like 4 stories and no elevator. The other issue is that the noise from neighboring rentals would wake me often, sometimes at 2:30 am—and the street noise can sometimes last pretty late. It was hard to get a good nights rest. The digital key was often problematic. Check in at 3:00pm was late.. we didn’t have access until 4 pm, which was a problem for us.

Perfect location for exploring the centre of Dublin! I had just completed a 16 day group tour of Scotland and Ireland, so wanted a place to rest and explore by walking. Grafton Street was a shopper’s dream! I enjoyed very much listening to the street musicians and Marks and Spencer’s food floor supplied fresh to go snacks, breakfast foods and I was even able to make pizza in the studio kitchen. I enjoyed touring Trinity College and the Book of Kells and spent a beautiful afternoon in St Stephens Green, all an easy walk away. Last dinner at Davy Byrnes, highly recommend. Only regret was I left the day of the U2 50th anniversary concert on the balcony of Bewley’s! Hope to stay at Grafton Street Studios again!
