The apartment location itself is outstanding as far as proximity to the many tourist sites, shopping district and pubs and restaurants that make Dublin such an amazing city to visit. Easy access to public transportation, but also within walking distance of all major attractions in the city. The apartment is just lovely! Modern and clean, high ceilings and lots of windows. When we opened the door to walk in our first time, the clean and fresh smell was obvious. The check in process and associated communication were smooth and simple! We arrived in the city several hours before the check in time but we were given access early upon request. Thank you! Our hosts provided ample recommendations for site-seeing, pubs and fantastic meals. Follow up questions were answered promptly and our host even made an unplanned personal delivery to drop off some extra bath linens for our stay! The beds were comfortable, the second bedroom being a double which was typical of our other accommodations throughout our trip. Plenty of dishes and modern kitchen amenities. Even the espresso machine was ready with complimentary coffee for our use. There is a Tesco market just around the counter that has essentials for purchase, including water, beer, wine, fresh bread and produce. One good sized full bath with walk in shower, more comfortable for the women, a bit of ducking required for the men to get wet, although a second hand held shower sprayer made that manageable. There is also a half bath in the master bedroom. Water pressure for showers was consistently low but plenty of hot water. Plenty of hanging storage for clothing and to stow away suitcases. The city noise is minimal in the bedrooms, although more apparent in the living room. We kept the windows open during our stay so that was part of the charm. This apartment is located over a storefront, and at the corner of a busy intersection so foot traffic is high. The seagulls…wow are they noisy in the mornings! Also part of the charm! Be mindful if stairs are a challenge for you or anyone in your travel party as there is no elevator and the apartment is accessible by stairs only. The building and stairwell is well lit and clean. We encountered no other tenants, although we could hear occasional footsteps and voices in the apartment above. No issues accessing wi-fi and television (But who wants to watch tv? You are in Dublin!) We had 4 people in our party and there was ample room for all. Our hosts and their lovely home ensured our visit to Dublin was magical!
