I booked this apartment as part of an important business trip to Dublin. The location was important in being away from the busiest part of the city, and close to the pre-booked parking.
The impression given by the host 'Johnny' was a privately owned apartment, however when we arrived we had to go to collect the keys from "City Break Apartments" who had an office nearby.
Just like a number of other reviews, the apartment booked was 'unavailable' and we were given a 'free' upgrade to a bigger and better apartment.
This ended up being a 15 minute walk away right in the centre of Temple Bar. The apartment was certainly not an upgrade and there were a number of defects with it, as well as it not being properly cleaned. It was massively noisy, the windows would not shut and the blinds didn't cover the windows completely, the kettle leaked....
Got virtually no sleep.
Next day I complained. We were then offered another apartment very close to the location of the one we originally booked. Not perfect, but a lot better, cleaner and much much quieter.
Overall not a good experience. The company behind this booking would not offer any compensation. They offered a discount on a future stay if booked direct, but it is unlikely we will need to visit again.
Please be aware, just like other reviews, you may book this apartment, which looks lovely and new, and get something completely different.
