Step outside and you’re an extremely short walk from anything downtown. Location is excellent. Other reviews have said that it can be loud from outside, but we didn’t really think so, even on the weekend. Either way, the bedroom is in the back and quiet. It can get a bit cold depending on the weather, but there’s heaters in both main rooms and the bedroom one heats up the room very well. If you’re planning to spend at least a few days in Dublin itself before going anywhere else, skip renting a car at first, grab a Visitor LEAP card that covers unlimited local public transport for a set amount of days, and take a bus downtown. Several stops are right next to the apartment. Even if you don’t want to rent a car you can purchase separate tickets for longer bus / train routes around the country and those are extremely easy to access from the stops right next to the place. Overall a great home base to center yourself in. Totally recommend.
