We knew we would be very close to the Temple Bar area, but when we arrived we were smack in the center of the Temple Bar area, and in a great way. Step outside and you have everything you need if you want nightlife and food. Step inside and you have a great living area for our 5 family members - with no noise or distractions from everything outside. The communication from the hosts was informative and timely before, during, and after our stay. If you love Temple Bar Dublin, and who wouldn't, this is a great spot.
