Queen Street Place
Citypoint Apartments
"I put a “3” for price/value, and maybe that’s not fair since hotels in Ireland are Switzerland+ levels of expensive. But the location is great, the apartment is as advertised, and I got my laundry done without having to go to a laundromat, which was the point."
