The host and her boyfriend were both so great and communicative, even carrying my bag up the stairs for me. This apartment is situated perfectly to be near all the great sites in the city center. Being near Temple Bar, it did get a bit loud on weekend evenings but the windows kept out much of the noise. I was initially apprehensive about the shared space but the bedroom and living room were completely left to me and the shared bathroom was never an issue. I would completely recommend staying here! I was there for a week and a half and had a very pleasant time.
