This is a great place on its own, not considering outside factors. It's reasonably quiet inside and the apartment is well decorated and has good facilities. Shower strength could be better but other than it's a nice place.
I am not entirely sure if this was just the case when I was there, but it is a little odd that there is no way I can throw away the trash, especially if a 14-day stay is required. This seems to be a problem in Dublin in general, where trash bags are thrown on the street (including right in front of the apartment building) and seagulls rip it to shreds. This last part is obviously not the owner's fault but trash disposal seems to be a pretty basic part of living and why that is not possible is a mystery.
While the apartment in itself is great, I do not really recommend Dublin, especially the area in which this apartment is located. Prices are really high for accommodation but the city has not gentrified accordingly. Trash is littered on the streets and "trashy" would also be a good description of the average resident in this area. So many people loiter around smoking weed and being loud, which is shocking for a place that costs 4 times my rent. People don't maintain their homes well and even what's underneath is not naturally pretty. This would all be fine if it was priced accordingly ... but this is more expensive than London or Tokyo which are much more interesting and considerably cleaner places. The city doesn't have much interesting to offer beyond a few tourist spots, so if you're going here to view a nice city, go to Edinburgh or even Belfast instead. Or visit the Irish countryside, which is lovely. Again, nothing to do with the place itself, which is really a refuge from the dank surroundings ... but I would recommend staying in a different city if you can.
