My Wife and i had a short stay here to celebrate her 40th,the apartment was amazing beautifully laid out and spacious and the location is as good as it gets for central Dublin,Temple bar is a 5 minute walk and you are surrounded by great bars and restaurants but we didn't notice any outside noise through the night,.the tips and advice from Nicola on things to do during our stay really helped,we had a great time and Dublin and if we make it back would definitely stay here again!
