DO NOT BOOK THIS APARTMENT!
This apartment is in a great location in Dublin. For anyone who wants to be able to walk to the shops, bars and restaurants and isn’t fussy about Cleanliness or noise this would be fine.
For anyone else, or anyone with children, do not book.
We arrived at 2.30pm at the office, for a 3pm check in (the time we were told to arrive). This was to allow time to collect the keys, park and find the apartment. We were told the apartment wouldn’t be ready until 3.30pm because the cleaners were still cleaning. We had 2 young children with us so we decided to just drive round for a while to wait. At 3pm we got a call from the company to tell us that, in fact, the cleaners hadn’t even arrived the the apartment and asked us to wait a further 45 minutes. After calling in twice to the apartment and driving round heavy Dublin traffic for over 2 hours, we finally got access at 5pm!! The apartment smelt of smoke and alcohol and we had to buy cleaning products to clean it ourselves! It was dirty and grubby and tired and we weren’t comfortable having our young children in the apartment. Also, the living room has no blinds or curtains which is strange seeing as it’s on a very busy road.
Then the cleaners turned up 2.5 hours early before check out to try to get access to clean!! Total shambles.
Positives about the apartment are the heating - the place is toasty warm and the showers are very powerful. The location is very handy to the shops and bars etc but it is a noisy area.
