This is an extremely spacious apartment. It was just the two of us, but this is a great space that could easily accommodate another couple or family members (the fold out sofa in living space is large and separate/private from the bedroom). It is a clean and functional living space and kitchen, great for drinks or dinner if it's pouring outside one night.
But the location is stellar, I can't believe we were so lucky. New York Times "36 Hours in Dublin" from September 2019 spends a lot of time in Smithfield. The Fish Shop (and wine bar) was my wife's favorite meal in the 2 weeks across Ireland, Proper Order was a 20-second walk for great coffee/tea in morning, The Cobblestone is a longstanding classic and two blocks away. Some really fine dining and some great diver bars nearby too (Frank Ryan's was a perfect night cap 2 blocks away with pool and great playlists). The Luas is so easy to use, and just 2 minute walk to the stop (Red Line goes east-west across river, stop at O'Connell and transfer to Green Line for easy access to Temple Bar/Trinity College destinations). Even at midnight we were never more than 15-20 min ride back home (~4 euro ticket for round trip access).
