We were welcomed by Yasmine who made a special effort to greet us as we arrived early for our 4 night stay. As there was nobody booked into the apartment she let us in early and showed us around the apartment. While she was there we pointed out that the smoke detector had become detached from the ceiling in the hall way, she said that her husband would call around later and refit it. He phoned later that day and said he was unable to refit it as he did not have a ladder. I believe they tried to get hold of the apartment block handyman but he did not turn up to fix the problem either. When we returned to the apartment in the evening I used a dining chair and stretched up to refit the detector as best I could. It was then when darkness fell we noticed quite a few of the bulbs in the hallway and bedrooms were not working, so we swapped bulbs around to make sure we had light in where needed. That night in the master bedroom our friends found that the mattress springs were sticking up through the padding and as far the mattress cover, our friends were not happy as the husband got very little sleep on our first night . For the rest of the week we padded out the bed with duvet covers etc. we found in the spare room. We were out early and in late so did not report this issue at the time , but I did email Yasmine telling her about the things we found.
Despite this we had a great week weather wise and found the apartment ideal for the 4 of us, it is well located just on the edge of temple bar, and some of the big attractions in Dublin . I hope all the issues have been dealt with and if they have, we would all recommend this accommodation .
