The good: comfortable beds, decently laid out place when one bedroom having an ensuite.
The kitchen has all the basics.
The location is an easy 25 minute walk to city centre, but there isn’t anything really within a 10 minute walking distance to grab breakfast.
The okay: there’s definitely some deep cleaning that can be done in the unit. The grout in both bathrooms is looking quite tired, cobwebs in the closets, and just some things could use a good cleaning.
The bad: the communication was not great. There were instructions to go to a Blue Door. There are literally three blue doors. I tried to open someone else’s flat, and the lady who answered pointed me around the corner (this clearly happens to her all the time).
The code to get into the flat is likely the easiest possible code for someone to guess. It made me (single female) feel quite unsafe.
The wifi didn’t work upon arrival and when trying to explain, the host was struggling to understand English. It did get resolved though!
The communication in the unit is not great. The host provides two phone numbers to call if there is a problem. Both were out of use. The only way we could communicate was via this app, which of course you need wifi for. So, I had to venture out into an unknown city to track down free unsecured wifi in order to contact the host and let her know the wifi doesn’t work.
If in Dublin, I’d recommend a different spot.
