Hi BICIP, thanks for replying!
Budget is around 1200 max per month. Was looking at Kilmainham, even places near Connolly Luas, or Heuston, etc. Luas isn't essential, but reliable public transport is.
I'll be working at St James Hospital.
We were advised against Drimnagh - apparently lots of gang crime, etc there, and Tallaght - that despite the new developments, it's a rather rundown area.
I don't have a clue about these places - just what I've been reading on various sites online.
A good area would hopefully have a park nearby, close to public transport - not rundown or covered in graffiti, and with low crime. Reasonably quiet.
Without much traffic going through. a plus would be a great pizzeria nearby.
