The place is in the middle of everything - that's good. But neither the description nor even the other reviews prepared us for quite how loud it was. Temple Bar Pub is the tourist mecca of Dublin and in the middle of summer with the windows open it is like being in the middle of a train station. The apartment has good soundproofing, though, and with the windows shut and a sound machine we slept just fine. Sometimes got a little warm, but not too bad. Victor was a responsive host who helped us out when needed. The beds are very comfortable.
