The apartment is exactly how it is depicted in the pictures. The location is amazing and Darrin is very accessible and communicative. There are manuals and signs everywhere on how to work appliances, showers, everything. The other reviews are correct in that you are close to Temple Bar and you hear no noise from that area. The only issue we had was that there are birds (gulls?) on the rooftops and they are loud. The apartment got stuffy and we opened windows, but the noise of the birds was enough to keep you awake. Fans may have been nice to circulate some air and drown out the birds. Other than that, everything was fine.
