Limerick city. Living and working there.

[jackthelad82]

Hi all. I'm moving to Limerick city after being out of the country for a few years working. I'm going to be looking for an apartment in the city for to rent for 6 to 12 months before I find somewhere I can buy permanently. I will have the need for some female company from time to time, either I go to them or they come to me. So from the ladies that work in the city and the guys who live in the city or visit often, what general areas in the city are nice safe places to live/rent and where do you ladies feel safe staying and traveling to? Also let me know where you wouldn't advise. It's been a long time since I was in Limerick an I know things change and where used to be nice and safe a few years ago may now not be and vice versa. Like the Dock Road used to be a bad spot to be, and I know a young woman lost her life there last year, is it still a bad area? I know there are a lot of apartment blocks around there. I just don't trust estate agents so looking for information from the people on the ground. You guys. Feel free to message me directly if you don't want to comment here.
Thanks in advance.
