So first off I’m gonna say that this place is nice, but it’s in a very busy lively area. So if you are expecting peace and quiet you might want to find something in a more quiet area. We wanted to be in the action, so the noise didn’t bother us. Also this is a older residential building, so when you come in the hallways you will smell food cooking and whatnot from other residents. The balcony is a really nice feature you can sit in the ledge and read or Listen to music and let the breeze in on a nice day. It was in walking distance to a lot of bars and restaurants. If you’re only staying in Dublin a short time I recommend a hop on hop off bus tour to get the most out of your site seeing in the city. Also if venturing outside the city the cliffs should not be missed. All in all I’d say the place is a good value for the money and would stay again.
