This studio is well-located, within 10 minutes of both the Botanic Garden and Glasnevin Cemetery, both very important local sites, per Rick Steves. It is on a few bus lines. Tesco, a local grocery chain, is around a 15 minute walk and the city center is about a 30 minute walk. Checking in was uncomplicated and all appliances worked very well. I did not try the TV since I do not have Netflix. The space is quite small for more than 2 people, as someone earlier mentioned, particularly as space for suitcases and gear is limited to the floor and a very narrow closet, if one wishes to use the couch and table. The apartment has only one window right in front, so air circulation is limited so towels do not dry out unless outside the bathroom near the heater. I used the kitchen daily and found all the equipment I needed.
Minuses about this apartment: it is in no way elegant. The sheets are of poor quality synthetic material that have pilled quite a bit. The mattresses were uncomfortable due to hardness and coil texture. The walls had smacked insects and peeling paint. Housecleaning has not been great for a while: the freezer needs a major defrost, the vent above the stove is coated in dust as were baseboards. The shower is quite tiny with a slippery floor and no hand-holds—so a safety concern. Some missing amenities were facial tissue, paper towels, sink cleanser, and broom and dustpan.
If one is used to sleeping in complete darkness, this is not the place. The motion-sensitive front porch light beams into the apartment’s window as the shade has light leaks. Also 6 red and green lights associated with various known and unknown electrical devices glowed in the dark.
My major complaint, about which I told the host, was the highly fragranced towels and sheets from laundry products. While he suggested I could pay for and use the laundry just outside my room to reduce the fragrance, I would have had to wash them 5-10 times (from experience) at ~20 Euros. He suggested I could buy new, never washed sheets for less. I ended up taking off the linens from the pillow and duvet of the small, less fragranced bed, so I could stay there.
It is unlikely I will stay at this place again. If the price is right (and I think I paid too much) and one is not too fussy, this may be the perfect place for you.
