This apartment's main virtues are its location, quiet area, cleanliness and reasonable price. Downsides would be not great mattresses, and if it's hot when you visit, lack of fans. It is decked out with IKEA style/quality furniture - very plain but functional. If you are looking for a chance to meet a local and benefit from local knowledge of your host this is definitely not the place for you. The complete lack of communication from the host as our arrival date approached left me worrying that we would be left without accommodation. It took me many emails, texts, and a phone call to finally get check-in info. We never met the host, as she sent someone in her place to let us in. This person arrived late and seemed in a huge rush so no local tips from her either. Fortunately, after she left we found several brochures and a guide book, and we also found Dublin an easy city to navigate, but I did miss getting the local knowledge.
