Arthur's place is very small, but, if you're like my brother and I, you're often out and about anyways. The flat is a little bit old, so there's quite a bit of wear, but it was clean and suited our needs perfectly. The location is fantastic, in central Dublin, making it very easy to access the city center, the bus areas and the train station. There's a tram/streetcar that runs right outside the apartment, but we didn't find it to be too noisy. In fact, given how central the flat is, noise wasn't really an issue at all for us. There is a very comfortable bed and a pullout couch. The couch seemed a bit "saggy" but my brother actually found it very comfortable. Arthur also provides an additional futon mattress to put on the pullout, and lots of pillows and sheets. We appreciated all of this.
As Arthur discloses in his ad, smoking is permitted in the flat, so if you have a sensitivity to smoke, this might not be the place for you. But, as a non-smoker, I didn't actually find it to be that bad. Certainly a little bit of scent residue, but there are windows in each room that allow for fresh air to flow in, which I thought helped.
We did find it a little bit difficult to locate the apartment given the address given, but admittedly we found addresses in Dublin hard to determine at times, so it could have been us. But, that said, Arthur had someone else at the apartment awaiting us to check in, and he provided her number to us. So, I was able to be in touch with her via text, and she was able to direct us to the apartment when we couldn't find it.
The only other thing to know is that the hot water doesn't last long. A boiler needs to be turned on first, which is fine, but even after 30 minutes of it being on, there's only about 5-7 minutes of solid hot water. But, given the price point, the central location and the ease of checking in and out, we could live with it.
