Personal comments
My favorite night spots and best cafes are in Temple Bar, so is the best restaurant to have lunch, the Zaytoon. Also, if you have time to stay in Ireland, you must visit Galway and Aran islands.

Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
