The apartment is hard to find with just the address. Merrion had told us previously to just use the area code in Google maps to find the exact location, but due to jet lag, and issues at the airport I ended up forgetting this. So, just know that using the area code alone in the Google maps search engine will lead you to the exact spot. We did not meet our host. However, she had great communication and her sister met us outside if the parking structure to show us where to park, how to get in, use the elevator, properly lock the apartment door, etc. The only thing that caught me by surprise in the apartment is that it is a lived in apartment. Meaning that the closets have clothing in them. I typically like to get places fully empty so I don't feel like I am imposing on someone. This is probably my fault as I didn't see this when I read about the listing, nor did I ask. So we couldn't put any of our clothes away. There is a rach provided and I put some of my sweaters on there, but we mostly lived out of our suitcase the whole time. the fridge was empty so I would say the closet space was the only downside. We didn't cook anything but the apartment has cooking basics. The apartment does get pretty stuffy despite it being so cold outside. So I guess the apartment has great insulation. It would be nice though if there was a fan in the room as the warmth was a bit uncomfortable. The living room was fine as it has the window to allow for ventilation. But, I just didn't feel comfortable sleeping with the room balcony door open. The bed was ok. I managed to sleep more than my husband. He found the bed more uncomfortable. However, this might be a persnal issue. Different people like different things in a bed, so I am not sure how to rate that. What we really liked was that the place came with parking since we rented a car and the parking location is right by the elevator. Renting a car was one of the best things we could have done and it allowed us to see a nice portion of the countryside. I think we enjoyed Ireland more than London because we had control over transportation. That was one of the main reasons we liked this apartment. The place was fairly clean, and what you see is pretty much what you get. The apartment is about 25 minutes away from the heart of Dubkin by car. We had an overall positive experience.
