I would echo much of the advice here, although I would caution against Smithfield. Southside, Stephens Green or Merrion Sq. as focal point.

Buswell's Hotel is excellently situated, a very old-fashioned smaller hotel. Not necessarily the cheapest, but you'll be shocked at room prices here generally.

Regarding the Kimmel situation, an overlooked but urgent cause for concern is the fact that nobody seems to know what 'preempt' means. From the initial statement by ABC or whoever, to actual journalists deploying the word in the same incorrect sense, the implications for modern literacy are dire.

If you can, make time to watch Hayao Miyazaki and the Heron on Netflix.

It's two hours long, 85% of which consists of Miyazaki at his desk or kitchen counter staring with subdued intensity into the distance.
