This is a review for someone who is not spending only a night or two in Dublin to get drunk in Temple Bar
Pros
1. Price
Because you need to save your money. Dublin can be traveled cheap, but the inevitable costs are rather high. Not only cheap price of staying in Burak's place, but also the location of the place will save you some money cause it is really right in front of the bus station and very close to the Airport.
2. You know how the fantasy of meeting new strangers at a hostel or something gets right away hinged as you realize or remember how stressful sharing a bathroom with someone, well you don't have that at Burak. And having a bathroom to yourself can be more than just convenient in Dublin.
3. The Wifi is very fast.
Cons.
1. The noise. Everytime someone takes a shower, or the heater is on, or just someone walking by the room or something- there was rather loud noise that will interrupt sleep. The noise level was more than I had anticipated and I think if you are very sensitive to sounds, you should be aware.
2. It can get very cold at night.
3. The keys are soooo hard to use, but that could be being an idiot. But seriously, the keys were too tricky after a pint of G and a glass of J
As I said, if your aim is to have a good night in Temple Bar, don't sleep here. But if your goal is to get to know the city through couple days of traveling, I think the location of Burak's place and privacy it offers can be more than satisfying.
