Pat’s apartment was wonderful in terms of cleanliness and proximity to temple bar, Ha’penny bridge, etc. However, the area the apartment is in definitely is not the safest area. There was an instance with a drug deal going on down in the alley below the bedroom window around 3am and they stayed in the alley for a couple hours before moving on. Meanwhile, you could hear them the entire time screaming and yelling. The alley the bedroom window faces is also very loud at night, we weren’t sure if it’s a recycling center or just a store, but all hours of the night it sounded like glass was being thrown into and shattering in a dumpster. We didn’t have any issues during the day in terms of feeling safe, but definitely wouldn’t recommend the apartment if traveling alone. Pat was wonderful and responsive. Our only complaint was the area of town itself.
