Seamus and Clara-Felia were very responsive hosts! They were also very accommodating about check in time. We had a long drive with a ton of stops from Dublin. We also popped a tire on the way and we were able to check in very late. They also gave us an option for paid private parking which we very much appreciated.
The Wi-Fi didn’t really work for us at all, so definitely consider a SIM card for your stay. The central hang out space isn’t super functional, there is only the 1 couch and the 2 stools in the kitchen. They’re also not very comfortable (couch or stools). The kitchen works out fine, but it is just a mini fridge (which is pretty standard honestly). You can’t really use the washer/dryer as it’s on a stair landing and constantly in use by someone else.
It’s accurate that it’s a bunch of stairs up so definitely plan accordingly (ie luggage). It’s noisy but it’s definitely because it’s so central. Also the bathroom door is glass (frosted but still pretty visible) and you can’t block it easily with the shower curtain. You’re visible in the shower. If you’re staying with people you’re not very comfortable with, it’s something to consider.
It had such cute eclectic decor and had a great vibe. It’s an old building with tons of character.
