Super great location! It’s right in the middle of most things, everything is walking distance. The Kilkenny Castle is literally less than a 5 min walk away. Check in was good, we were greeted by his brother (which was stated in the listing) who owns the shop below and he gave us the keys. Everything was clean. It is a 2 level apartment stay and the stairs are very steep and small, within the apartment and getting inside. So you go up 2 different sets of small stairs to get to the apartment itself and then have stairs within. We had no problems and managed with ease. Others may not.
The only major thing I’d say for a heads up is: we stayed on a Friday night and it was very hard to get any sleep at all. Due to the street was very noisy, there is a pub right across the street that was playing music very loudly and the other apartment guests came home past 3am and were not quiet lol so if you’re looking for a place to stay and go out for nightlife, this is it! *None of which is in Tony’s control*
Maybe it’s better on nights that aren’t the weekend ;) The pub across the way playing music did draw us out and it was a fun stop until we went back for bed.
