David is a terrific host and the apartment is large, comfortable, and secure. The pictures are spot on.Three of us were there for a long St. Patrick’s Day weekend and while there is street noise, as other reviewers have mentioned, once we closed the door to the living room and also the doors to the bedrooms, it wasn’t a problem at all (unless you’re sleeping in the loft). The location is perfect. Temple Bar is such a fun area full of restaurants, bars, shops and lots of live music, and it’s just a block from the apartment to the Ha’ Penny bridge to cross over to even more restaurants and shops; and a Pennys of course! We also walked to the Guinness Storehouse and would have walked to the kilmainham Gaol if it hadn’t been raining so we cabbed over instead. Dublin is a very walkable city and we’ll definitely stay at David’s apartment again the next time we visit.
