Pros - Great location, we were able to walk everywhere very quickly. There was a delicious coffee shop a few doors down that was absolutely amazing. Check in was super smooth and very easy, bed was decently comfortable for us.
Cons - there were only enough towels for 2 of the 3 of us. The towels that were there had bleach stains all over them. The lightbulbs were removed from a bunch of the lights and the lights that were there were in terrible spots in the bedrooms. The apartment smelled really bad the entire time we were there and it seemed to come from the shower drain. The deadbolt to the main Airbnb door was fairly flimsy so it would be easy to break into.
Many other reviewers have seemed to downplay the noise level. I slept with the window closed AND earplugs in and I still could not sleep well due to the noise level and I’m a fairly heavy sleeper. The noise is all day and quite late into the night because if it’s not the bar patrons (to be expected in temple bar) it’s the bar staff cleaning up after the night, car alarms going off all the time, seagulls, fire alarms, emergency vehicles etc. it is VERY loud. There’s not much the host can do about that but be prepared with earplugs AND noise cancelling headphones.
A little TLC would go a long way and including some simple amenities would do a lot to help with the comfort of the place especially considering the price you pay. I could have paid the same amount for a hotel and received more amenities.
