The property is reasonably well located as promised, 4 blocks above Eyre Square, and that is the end of the positive aspects.
The property opens directly onto a major thoroughfare that is busy with traffic at all hours. The doors & window are ancient wood-framed originals that offer no insulation, sound or otherwise. We were bothered by noise at all hours: this included conversations of passers by - it was as if they were in our room!
The place is in desparate need of renovation: the flooring is old, dirty & stained. The main floor offers old linoleum over cold concrete and upstairs the subfloor is uneven & creaky, and the carpet cheap sand threadbare. The place is furnished with what appears to be the cheapest second hand furniture available: worn, mismatched and uncomfortable. To be fair, the army of ants in the front room had no complaints.
The kitchen does feature a new refrigerator and washer, but the washer didn't work. Also, there is no dishwasher, so valuable time is wasted doing dishes each day. The kitchen is half-finished with cabinetry and cheap particle board shelves. Cleaning supplies were left in plain sight of the guests, beside the kitchen table. There is a back patio that could actually be quite nice, if the owners cared to clean it up. Instead it is an overgrown mess and gives the feeling of a derilect property. We felt like we were staying within a recent crime scene.
There is no check in support whatsoever. I received an email with instructions only, but there was no one around to greet us on arrival or assist us when we needed it.
We received only one house key (I've never experienced that elsewhere) and when we accidentally locked ourselves out of the suite in arrival, no one answered our repeated calls for help. I had to resolve the situation on my own. I never did get a call from ownership, only an email the next day. Days later, in as limited way, the ower was apologetic of everything but offered only a nominal adjustment on the bill. (It amounted to less than the cost of one night.)
My impression here is that there is no pride in ownership or commitment to the property, guests or the business. The physical state of the place confirms that opinion, especially when combined with the level of support and presence and accessibility of the ownership group. I've stayed in several VRBO properties in Ireland & England and this was the worst experience I've had - I recommend you avoid this place.
