I spent six weeks at this apartment and enjoyed my stay. Alan and Shane are great hosts and were very helpful and responsive. The apartment location is excellent, just outside the really touristy area and minutes away from the central bus and train stations, and the AirLink #747 (airport) bus stops. Dublin is small and it's easy to walk from the apartment to just about anywhere, but the LUAS tram stops nearby, if you prefer to use it (buy a rechargeable Leap Card at any Spar store or other locations). The apartment is just as pictured except the bathroom overhead "rain" shower head and living room counters with stools have been removed. There are four flights of steps to go up, but I just considered that good exercise. The bedroom, with its comfortable bed, is at the back and there are double windows on the front, so street noise was never a problem. The kitchen is well-equipped and all of the appliances worked well. I was there in winter and there were very adequate wall heaters in each room. I recommend this apartment and plan to return there myself in the Fall.
