Exactly as described. Hosts are very friendly and helpful when they are around and available. The location is in an incredible spot for nightlife, just steps across the street to awesome pubs, food groceries, etc. The main tourist attractions, and tour group meeting spots in Dublin are about a 10-15 minute or so walk away which was really perfect in my opinion. The room was easily accessible with affordable public transportation. There was noise outside late at from the clubs nearby, but this was in the listing and expected and worked perfectly for us because we like background noise to fall asleep to. It is generally a steady hum of sounds. Keeping the window closed helped loads with the noise from outside too. I loved the bedside lamp so I didn't have to get up to turn the light off before bed. The apartment made us feel like we were living like the locals, with the old building feeling like some of the history we explored on the trip. Highly recommended for those on a budget, who want to be in the heart of nightlife and experience living like a local. Not recommended for people expecting a luxury experience.
