May I just say that we are neither harsh nor fussy people. The communication before arrival and for check in was very good. Cleanliness was disappointing as the toilet was not flushed and not very clean. In the oven there was a tray with rancid fat that stank terribly. We had to put it on the balcony. The flat is perfectly situated to explore Dublin. Parking is a big issue as car parks are very expensive, around €30-40 per day. Sundays it is free to park on the road outside. A selection of teas and coffee is offered which is a nice touch. The apartment is well appointed, mind you, there was only one water glass and two beer glasses still had lipstick marks. The person who wrote a review just before mentioned that the toilet seat was loose. I wrote to Vivienne asking that this will please be fixed. It wasn’t. It’s a shame. The blinds in the bedrooms let a lot of light in. Bring blindfolds if you need it dark to sleep. There are many good things about the apartment but also downfalls that could easily be addressed.
