Jack and his brother David are wonderful hosts for this exceptional apartment. The location is as good as it gets if one's looking to be close to all the action in Temple Bar. The photos exactly describe the apartment's amenities and spacious layout. It's ideal for a 1-2 couples, or 2-4 single friends visiting Dublin on holiday.
Jack and David greeted us at the apartment, spent ample time providing us with local suggestions & tips, and checked in to see how we were enjoying our stay. The apartment really felt like a 2nd home for my wife & I during our recent 2 day stay in Dublin; it was even sunny & mild enough in November for us to enjoy the roof deck for a bit during the daytime!
The stairs were not an issue for us (even with multiple suitcases) and there was no issue with noise late at night -- although it was November and we were staying during the week. There are double-pane windows in the living room, kitchen and main bedroom, which effectively blocks out street/sidewalk noise.
We can't thank Jack & David enough for their hospitality, and certainly hope to stay there again when we return to Dublin!
