The location of the apt can't be beat. It was right across from the St Paul Cathedral. Everything was nearby and many great restaurants within 5 min walking. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Some of the furniture was alittle run down like there were rips in the couches but it was covered with a blanket and did not take away from our stay. We didn't cook so can not speak to the functionality of the kitchen. The washing machine worked great for my family. Having provided soap and detergent is always a plus for us. Ciarán and his friend Jeanette were great hosts. Communications were easy and I actually left my phone in the apartment after checkout and Jeanette worked with me to get it back to me. Very much appreciated. Thank you for a great stay in Dublin.
