The studio is in a nice neighbourhood of the city, which was definitely up-and-coming and full of a younger working crowd (i.e. yuppies). There are a lot of restaurants, stores, off-licences, yoga studios, with the buses running all around you so you could get across the city quite easily if you wanted. Also, there were plenty of parks nearby to take strolls through. Definitely, the botanical gardens were the highlight of the area: just a small walk away. As for the studio itself, it was nicely appointed with a comfy sofa, well-stocked kitchen (e.g. appliances, pots, pans, wine glasses, cups, food storage containers, cutlery, instant coffee, salt, sugar, pepper, and more), a small dining area/table, a washroom with all the necessities (i.e. shampoo, soap, few rolls of toilet paper), and a wide comfy bed. Now, it was noted in a previous post that the bed was rather small length-wise, and I have to agree. If you are above 5'10" (178 cm) then you probably won't fit very comfortable in the bed unless you sleep sideways. Luckily, I was a perfect 5'9" and slept like a log. The road outside can have quite a bit of traffic, even into the late hours, but it's never horns blaring: just the gentle rolling of tires. I sleep with ear plugs, so it wasn't an issue for me. Also, the shower in the washroom can be a bit cramped if you are a "person of size". I'm rather slim, and even I was a bit squished taking a shower. Also, if you are taking a shower, the hot water can run out within 10 minutes and the water turns tepid, so maybe keep your showers shorter if you want to keep it warm. The WiFi in the building had a great signal, and there were multiple frequencies/routers that could be used if one got a bit sluggish in the bandwidth. There was a closet with hangers, and another linen closet with an iron, and an extra throw if you got cold at night. The studio stayed pretty warm because of the immersion heater inside the linen closet kept things pretty warm. After a day of being outside and coming back, the space can get a bit stuffy, but you can easily open the windows to let some air in. As for the responses from Mike's Support Team, they were prompt, descriptive, and cordial. I was impressed by their response time and definitely added a nice touch in assurance of the property. Overall, this was an excellent place to stay for my first visit to Dublin, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to live in a nicely appointed space in a safe and convenient neighbourhood just a stone's-throw away from the city centre. I know Mike is going to make efforts to renovate and update the studio, so I am definitely looking forward to booking with him again on my next trip to Dublin. PS - If you do stay here,...
