On the one hand, this place has mostly anything you need for a short stay in Dublin, as long as you aren’t planning to spend much time in the apartment. I think it’s a cute apartment and it’s easy to get to everything. The price is relatively inexpensive, although in my opinion it’s overpriced for what it offers.
The downsides… the other bad reviews are all accurate (even the “fake” one was clearly written by someone who has been inside the apartment) if a little harsh. Some things didn’t bother me so much (eg the tiny elevator, the building itself, the rough neighbourhood). What did bother me was the uncomfortable bed (imagine a folded cardboard box on top of some springs - I woke up in pain every day), the poorly functioning plumbing (a recurring theme of these reviews - for us, the shower was a literal TRICKLE and the toilet stopped flushing on our checkout day)… I think the fold out sofa is actually more comfortable than the bed itself. The street noise is somewhat to be expected when you’re staying in a city, but the windows provide NO muffling of sound whatsoever so it’s like having an open window to the street all night. If you’re a light sleeper (and haven’t already decided to book a hotel instead), bring earplugs or have some kind of plan to cope with the noise. I found it annoying that there was nowhere to hang towels, there was no bottom sheet provided on the bed and no hand towels provided for the bathroom. There was also nowhere to hang laundry to dry, which was annoying because the dryer doesn’t work very well. You could probably make do with only two people, but with four people packed in it’s pretty hard to find space for anything at all. I didn’t mind the location, but if you’re not a city person you might find it a bit dirty and rough around the edges. Photos are mostly accurate except the refrigerator is no longer in the living room and has been replaced by a small fridge in the kitchen, and the towel rack in the bathroom is long gone. Maybe not the worst Airbnb I’ve stayed in, but definitely in the bottom two.
