We enjoyed our stay here- we were in Dublin for 5 days and were able to walk almost everywhere we wanted to go from the apartment. The one exception was the Kilmainham Jail, but everywhere else was walkable. As others have noted, Christchurch is right across the street, but the bells didn't keep us up at night. You can also hear people talking out on the street, but again, it wasn't enought to disturb our sleep. The kitchen seems to be nicely stocked- we didn't use it for any cooking or even coffee/tea making, but all the essentials were there. There are little notes everywhere with helpful hints- that was a nice touch. There's a washer/dryer combo that I wasn't familar with at all, but I found an instruction manual online- just Google the make/model number that's displayed. There was also some laundry detergent in the closet so I didn't have to go buy a whole bottle for just a couple of loads. Only one caution- there's a park across the street by the church. It gets really sketchy at night. We didn't have any issues, but just be aware when you're walking back after dark.
