We stayed here with three other friends for three nights, the appartment is nice, like on the photos. The couch in the living room is really comfortable to sleep on. The appartment is on third floor, giving on the road, you can hear the traffic as it doesn't have new double glazed windows. Living in a city myself, I didn't mind it at all but if you are looking for a calm place, this may be a bit noisy for you. The appartment is a 12 minute walk from the river, we walked everywhere around the city, it was not far. Taxi from the Temple Bar area back to the appartment in the evening costs around 12 euros, taxi from the appartment to the airport between 20-25 euros. We really enjoyed our stay here.
