The apartment is in a secure and gated community. You can walk to it from the city center in about 20 minutes, or take the Luas light rail in about 5 min. The room itself is small and suited best for solo travelers. Please know in advance that you will not have access to a fridge/mini-fridge, microwave, or washing machine. That becomes an issue if you’re staying for several days. I had to take public transportation to get to the nearest laundromat and I couldn’t buy anything that needed to be refrigerated. When I was there, I had no eating utensils (especially spoons would have been nice). I guess you have to bring your own utensils or buy some plastic ones. Coffee/tea cups were available however.
Overall, it was clean except for the bathroom sink which had hair in it (previous guest?).
The host was on holiday so a sub-host was there to answer my questions. He was friendly but did not know the area very well. He did his best to try to answer my questions.
Lesson to be learned - look very careful at the amenities before you book. In addition, anticipate what you will need. To be fair, the listing does not list a fridge, washing machine, or microwave among the amenities. That said, some basics, such as utensils, should be available in the room. An iron is listed as an amenity, but it should be available at all times in the guest-free area. I needed it at one point and sent a message to the host to request use of it, but she never responded.
