I want to preface by saying you're paying for location, primarily. Excellent, if somewhat dodgy, location, close to many places of interest, shops, restaurants, etc. That said, does the apartment have what you need? Yes. Does it have everything you want? Probably not. Apartment is very spartan, not much in the line of decor or niceties. Couch was uncomfortable and there were no reading lamps, so at night,you have to have the overhead lights on to read. Apartment had a musty smell when we arrived, and a definite sewage smell in the bathroom. Also, the pipes made a loud sound like a steamboat whistle. Personally, if we come back to Dublin, we'd book another property. But as I said earlier, the location is great, which is what you're paying for.
