Apartment was clean, shower was hot, washing machine worked, and picking up keys was easy (waiting at a gas station down the road).
Apartment can get stuffy at night, but owner recommended leaving the deck doors open and that worked. Note: at night the neighborhood smells like burned popcorn. Turns out it’s from the Guinness factory. I hated it, my friends didn’t mind.
Neighborhood appears to be in transition, while close-ish to temple bar this is a lower income neighborhood which comes with loitering and some issues with homelessness. That said, we never felt unsafe walking. It is a main road with a lot of pedestrian traffic.
Not many good restaurants or sites in the immediate area (great coffee shops!), but everything you likely plan to see is only a 15-20 min walk.
If you like walking and plan to be out most of the day, great place. If you’ll be spending more time inside or want food/bars at your doorstep, probably not for you.
Personally, Id stay again.
