Take the good with the bad. We knew what we were getting into when we booked the airbnb. The apartment is large and spacious. It had a dublin vibe to it, with very walkable distances to all of the sights. The roof top access made for nice views of the river. We were well aware that there would be elevated noise levels and it wasn't a problem save for the music thumping from the bar downstairs until 3AM each night. We had to wear ear plugs like other reviewers suggested. 4 flights of stairs made a long day of sightseeing a little extra tiring. Access was a little sketchy right outside a crowded bus stop with people often blocking access to the door. Not too many amenities were available inside the apartment. All-in-all we had a great time in dublin but in hindsight we would have been better off with hotel accomodations, especially after a 10 hour flight, we really needed our sleep.
