This apartment has an incredible location. Right on the river, and a block from the Temple Bar area of Dublin. While it's very convenient and we appreciated that, it was louder than expected at night.
We were asked to share our flight information with the hosts and expected that to allow the hosts to plan for our arrival accordingly. We appreciated the thought, but after being directed to message someone who was not the host and arriving outside the apartment, we stood there for nearly an hour waiting for responses/someone to let us in.
We followed directions regarding the hot water in the apartment, but did not have any hot water while showering the last 2 of our 3 day trip.
We struggled with temperature fluctuations in the apartment as well. We would be comfortable, sometimes cold while sitting around and sweating while sleeping.
Lastly, wifi was incredibly spotty while we were in the apartment. I had absolutely no signal while we were in the bedroom and would have to sit/stand near the balcony windows in order to get a reasonable signal in the living space.
In the end, we still thoroughly enjoyed our time in Dublin and the apartment was stylish and nice, but we didn't want to spend much time in it if we could avoid it.
