PROS: very nice flat with comfy beds, modern bathrooms and well stocked full size kitchen. Location is close to key sites and entertainment. (Check out Queen of Tarts in Cows Lane for coffee and scones.)
CONS: elevator broke which created a significant challenge with two very heavy suitcases and a location on the 5th floor. Area is close to Temple Bar, which is good and bad. Gets pretty loud and rowdy at night. Quite a few homeless folks sleeping around the entrance and alley way. Building has a bit of a college dorm vibe and someone defecated in the lobby, so there’s that.
