We stayed here for 4 night and throughly enjoyed our experience. The location was great, lots of shops & restaurants in Rathmines all within walking distance. The bus route was excellent- route 140 stops directly outside the apartment and takes you into Dublin centre. I would recommend getting a visitor leap card, €19.50 for 72 hours of unlimited bus, luas & Dart services. In terms of the apartment it had everything you would need for a short stay. Microwave, kettle, fridge & toaster all in the room & iron available on request. The bed was very comfy & the shower powerful. The only down side is the music was quite loud from the cafe below however this was only an issue if you like afternoon naps. Would highly recommend and would stay here again the the future.
