The location is perfect if you're interested in the Guinness factory since it's right around the corner but it is a little bit of a travel to temple bar. Around a €10-15 cab fare or a 30 minute walk. Be accurate on your arrival and departure time as the key code expires and you'll be locked out! Unfortunately this happened to us as we finished a half marathon and left all our belongings in the apartment only to come home and not able to access the apartment. Thankfully the cleaning lady let us in to retrieve our belongings!
Other than that, the apartment was just as mentioned!
