Starting with the positive:
The apartment is located very central with a view on the Shannon river and in walking distance to the city center.
The communication with the host was fast and solved all our problems (although some of the problems should not be problems in the first place, more on that later)
The apartment was spacious and well suited for 4 to maximum 6 people.
Unfortunately there are quite a lot of negative points:
The apartment building is pretty run down and the hall is quite smelly.
The apartment itself is also quite outdated.
The beds and the couches are very worn out.
Also some of the blankets and bedclothes were old and partially stained.
The windows are very thin and therefore the noise from the street was very loud even when the windows were closed
However, worst of all in my opinion was the fact that not enough money was prepaid for the power supply. This resulted in a very loud alarm in the morning, warning us that the money was low. After some minutes of confusion we found the pencil instruction on the junction box. Fortunately Barra was responding fast and toped up 10€! to the prepaid account.
All in all the price-quality ratio is just bad. For a fraction of the cost we might have overlooked some of the shortcomings of this apartment, but the price charged for such a quality is way too high.
