Follow the directions given by the host, not Google maps which will take you through back alleys! The outside appearance of the building and street is not great but the interior of the apartment is lovely and bed was comfortable.
There are 3 bedrooms in the apartment so depending on the courtesy of the others it could be a little noisy when people arrive and leave, however I didn't find it intrusive.
The host supplies excellent food for breakfast which was not expected but most appreciated.
There is no sitting room but the dining area is comfortable.
It is a half hour walk from the main city area in South Dublin and s but less from the Bus station for CityLink coaches. Quite a walkable area with the hip on hop off buses only 10 mins away. Plenty of places to eat nearby and local buses very close.
