This apartment was very cute.
PROS:
-secure building
-looked like the photos used in the ad
-the fridge had a water filer
-the place was pretty clean
-the hosts provided cookies and fruit for us to eat.
CONS:
-This space felt small for the two of us. It was on par with a typical American hotel room in size.
-The shower was very tiny and had weak water pressure.
-You have to walk through a dark and musty hallway to the entry door.
-Had the weather been nicer, we could have enjoyed the outdoor space. It was very cold and rainy, so we stayed indoors the whole time and decided to leave Dublin a day early.
-It was very tricky to figure out how to use the stove.
-Too much natural light throughout the space. Given that we were traveling internationally and were arriving quite tired, the extremely bright natural light, in addition to a very late sun set, made it hard to sleep.
-We'd rented a car and parking was tricky. We had to move the car a couple times a day in observance or parking restrictions.
Overall, this place was ok. For the price we paid, I'd like more space and a nicer shower. We also didn't care for the city of Dublin in general, which affected our stay overall for the worst.
