Let me first start by saying the location itself is perfect. It is in the heart of Temple Bar with lots of restaurants, pubs, and things to do very close.
The frustration with this apartment included a few things. First, the distance from the office to check in and get keys to the actual apartment is about 18 minutes. This was very inconvenient and added an unexpected cost to the taxi. Next, while the initial listing states “must climb stairs” it nowhere indicates that the apartment is located on the 4th floor with no elevator available to use. There was a huge hole in the door frame in the balcony door which allowed cold air and rain into the apartment. Two of the exterior doors in the bedrooms were broke and falling off the hinges when attempted to open. We were only provided 4 towels dispute having 5 guests on the reservation.
Overall, the stay was just “okay.” Nothing exceptional stands out, and the inconvenience of the lack of elevator was a very big turn off.
