While the hosts were relatively communicative and accommodated an early check-in nicely, this place really is pretty noisy. The street noise (sirens, cars, yelling people, late music) spills through a closed window as if it were wide open. Whoever was upstairs also walked around with the heaviest boots imagineable. Also, the hot water situation is pretty slim. My wife took a 10-min shower and it went cold on me after 2 minutes. You have to "press" a button that's hard to access. I quote the word press because there's no action to the button, so it's tough to tell if you did it right. Then you have to wait 15 minutes to get hot water again. So you essentially get 10 minutes of hot water and have to wait 15 minutes before you get another 10 minutes of hot water. That kind of sucks if you care about it. Otherwise there's a full kitchen, so that's good.
The main perk of the place is it's proximity to city center, especially comparing it's price to nearby options. For instance, it's a ~25 minute walk to the Temple Bar area with plenty of worthy dining and museums.
