Me and my girlfriend traveled to Dublin for 3 nights and stayed in the Temple Bar area. Great location for a tourist who doesn’t mind the noise and wants pubs and restaurants within spitting distance of the apartment. Great apartment for 2 people, clean, all the amenities you’ll need and the driver who dropped us off was super friendly and gave us all the tips and tricks to navigating Dublin. The manager of the apartment was also extremely nice and responsive to questions, etc. Only had two issues:
The bed wasn’t very comfortable. It was more of a box spring with a small bit of padding on it. Made for a tough few nights of sleep.
The second issue was the noise. I wish they would have told us that construction was going on across the street from the apartment, as we woke up every day at exactly 6am to construction noise and loud banging right outside our window. The area is also a very popular tourist attraction so don’t be surprised to hear people shouting walking by your apartment well into the late evening hours (~11-12PM at the latest).
Overall, 3.5/5 stars.
