While the apartment was not we would call 'luxury' , it was spacious and had all the amenities you could require. It was right in the middle of the Temple Bar nightlife area, which was great for walking around, but very noisy at night. The common areas of the building were very scruffy which wasn't a great welcome to the apartment as you enter straight off a busy road and up two flights of stairs. Nicola's directions re keys and location, and her general instructions, does and dont's, and suggestions were all perfect - very helpful. The supermarket right next door, wine bar, food market and Japanese restaurant over the road are great!
