This is a completely updated apartment. The bathroom is a bit small, but that and the 14 or 16 steps up were the only negatives for me. I felt very safe and secure, and it was very quiet at night. Though it is walkable, it is about a 20-minute walk to the Old Dublin area, which, when it isn't raining, is very nice. Otherwise about a 10-14 Euro taxi ride. Drivers did seem to have a problem finding it because it's such a small street. Once I used the FreeNow app, it was much easier getting a taxi to and from the place.
Darren is extremely responsive and helpful. He was very flexible which I appreciated greatly.
