Nita was very kind and let us check in early due to an early flight. The flat is exactly the same as the photos, very clean, modern and comfortable. The kitchen has pretty much everything you would need to cook meals if you wanted to eat in. There is a great shop called Fresh around the corner, so it's easy to grab food, snacks etc. The beds and sofa were really comfortable and everything was provided. The location is about 25 mins walk from most major attractions but just down the road there is a tram stop (smith fields) which you could use if you want (I'd recommend getting a leap card to make travelling easier). After reading a couple of the reviews a few days before our stay we were a bit apprehensive however, the location did not appear unsafe to us in any way whatsoever and we walked back a few times late at night but there are plenty of taxis if you'd rather not walk. The small balcony does face some sort of shelter but there isn't any noise or trouble from this whatsoever, and the building itself isn't rundown at all. Overall, we had a fantastic stay in Dublin and it was great to have such a lovely place to come back to after a long day of sightseeing!
