Getting Around
The house is quite central, with attractions like Croke Park and O'Connell street about a 10-15 minute walk.
You can grab a bus from outside Wasabi on Dorset Street which will bring you into Dame Street and around Temple Bar.
Also you can rent Dublin bikes from the various stations nearby. There is one on North Circular just beside the Mater hospital, Eccles Street and Temple Street. You can sign up for 1 or 3 day tickets.
For trips further afield, the Green LUAS (for all things south-side) is on Parnell Street while the Red LUAS is Abbey Street (good for the 3 Arena).
