I was travelling with my family and we had a mixed experience when it came to this property. As we were driving from Killarney to Dublin, we found it difficult to provide and exact timing for when we would arrive. While speaking with the hosts, i tried to keep them updated with any delay we faced, i found that the response i got was quite unfriendly in that they stated that if we did not arrive within an hour of the expected time then we would have to wait anther 3-4 hours before they could check us in. Luckily we made it just in time and therefore we didnt have to wait.
When we arrived at 6PM the apartment was still being cleaned and the cleaners left the kitchen a bit dirtier than we would have liked, with all the dishes still in the dishwasher.
We asked for a slightly delayed checkout which the hosts did not agree to stating that the cleaners would need to come in, however they allowed us to leave our bags. When we returned two hours after check out to retrieve our bags, we found the apartment exactly as we had left it, with no cleaners in sight.
It was frustrating to learn that we could have easily have gotten a delayed checkout as clearly it was not a matter or urgency.
As other reviews have noted before there is constant sound from the train, however this did not bother us too much as the trains were not active through the night.
THE POSITIVES:
The apartment itself is well located and in a quiet and safe neighbourhood
The living room is a nice family area and the apartment was well equipped for 6 people.
Other than our check in and check out process we were fairly happy with the apartment and would reccommend it to someone looking for a place to stay in Dublin.
