In a very central location close to Luas line stop its handy for getting about the city, and extremely close to good range of cafes, restaurants and shops. The apartment offers lots of homely comforts which for me means good range of herbal tea and WiFi , and for my children access to Netflix!
Area was a bit noisy in evening up to 11pm from general traffic and passers by but okay after this time.
Some people commented on there being a sex shop end of alley but did not cause a problem for us maybe because staying on a Monday night.
