This apartment is in a quiet suburban part of Rathmines, one of a number in the area run by a self catering accommodation company. The self-check-in instructions provided by Elaine were clear and Elaine was available if needed, though we didn’t need to call on her. The apartment was less appealing than we expected based on the listing (which described it as modern and bright with window views to landscaped gardens, whereas it’s quite tired and mostly looks over the car parking). It could do with a little maintenance (the en suite shower doesn’t drain well). But these things weren’t a big deal. The apartment is spacious, functional and fitted out with everything you’d need. It has car parking, instant hot water and self-controlled heating which were very convenient.
