Location, location, location! This apartment has a balcony that looks down upon Temple Bar. It's within walking distance to everything, but if you need a cab, they are always nearby. It was fun to people watch from the balcony and listen to the live music. Although noisy from the streets and pubs outside, the bedroom was quiet and noise was never an issue while we slept.
We had all our basic necessities, tea, coffee, shampoo/conditioner, soap, hair dryer, towels, washer/dryer..
There is NO lift in this building. We knew this before renting, so we were okay with that... but if you have issues with stairs and hauling big suitcases up multiple flights of stairs, this may not be the place for you.
The only other thing was the shower had poor pressure, but I just kind of assumed that's normal in an older building.
All in all, I would highly recommend Marie's apartment if you want to be in the center of all of Dublin's lively action!
