The location is right in the middle of Temple Bar. We found it very central to everything we wanted to see and do. It is directly above the bar and there are some crazy crowds/noise at night, but the unit was not very noisy to us and we didn't mind the crowds outside and thought it a valuable trade-off for the central location. We did have some issues in the apartment - the water is very temperamental. There were times where the water would not work at all - meaning the faucets are on but no water was coming out. This happened about 10 times in our 3-night stay. Also the hot water heater is similarly problematic - it is set on a schedule to heat the water (though there was no hot water in the morning as the schedule said there would be) and while we could give it a "boost", but that would take another 30 minutes to heat up so you'd need to build that into your routine. The mattresses need to be upgraded as we could feel the springs in them poking us at night and the doors are very noisy when opened/closed, which made sleeping peacefully a little difficult. Two sets of keys would be helpful instead of one (an easy change), and there were things like rugs and pillows that were in the apartment photos but not in the apartment. Also for 4-6 people the apartment could use another seat in the living room, which there looks to be plenty of room for. Lastly we thought the stove was not working, but the labeled switches for the stove and dishwasher seem to be flipped so we figured that out.
