This basement flat is functional, but lacks character and could use a bit of tlc. There is no decor aside from a few hangings on the walls. There are no extra blankets or towels. I think there was a coffee maker, but we couldn't find any coffee for it and it was set in the corner unplugged. One of the nights we cooked diner for ourselves and we found the dishes dirty. The bathroom shower has quite a bit of mold damage and the shower leaks onto the floor around the door. I can understand that it takes quite a bit of upkeep to maintain a basement flat because you do not have control over the other neighbors around you. It just seems like this place has been used by too many different people, too many times. The street noise was not too terrible. Saturday night there was a group of people standing on the street at 5 o'clock in the morning. Obviously not the host's fault, but definitely upsetting. The absolute best part of this flat is the location. Just a block south east of St. Stephen's Green, it is a 10-20 minute walk to almost anything. Ultimately I didn't hate this place, but I didn't love it either.
