Moderne 2 Chambres, 2 Bath Central Dublin plat près de Trinity College

We stayed in David's apartment for 3 nights in early December. From the initial contact, right through the booking process and key pick up David was a pleasure to deal with and sent the most comprehensive "how -to" instructions that we have ever received through VRBO.

The apartment is exceptionally well located within a short walk of St Stephen's Green, O'Connell St, Temple Bar and Dublin Castle. We walked all over Dublin during the three days we were there and never needed to use public transport or taxis.

The two bedrooms and two bathrooms were perfect for the 3 of us, and would still be ideal for 4. The bedding and towels were of a good quality and the beds were very comfortable.

There is seating for 4 in the living room along with a tv and dvd player and the attached kitchen though small is well appointed with all the necessities and a dining table.

We read some comments regarding the trains before we booked. During the 3 nights we were there while we were aware of the trains they were not an issue for us and don't run during the early hours.

There are plenty of guide books in the apartment and the "apartment book" provides many great suggestions.

We had breakfast around the corner on Pearse St at the Paella Bar which was great and had a dinner at O'Neills Victorian Pub which is a stone's throw from the apartment, and has wonderful food and a tremendous atmosphere.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at David's apartment and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Central Dublin. We believe it is excellent value for money.

Very clean apartment right next to Trinity College. The bus lines are close by and a short walk to Temple Bar and many other places. We would definitely stay here again! The host has very complete directions on getting to the apartment and how everything in it works. Read the book, it's in there! :)

Had a wonderful stay. Location is close to everything. Apartment is very comfortable.

The apartment was wonderful.  It's in a great location and we were able to walk to so many sites in Dublin.  The apartment was very clean, quiet and comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped for us to cook & eat in, and there is a wonderful bakery on the same block. We would definitely recommend it.  Thank you for a terrific place to stay while we were in Dublin!

Overall, it was an extremely comfortable apartment. Definitely had the most comfortable mattresses in our three weeks travels in Ireland. Although we never really cooked, the kitchen was full, and we appreciated the washing machine and dryer.

The location was a close walk to most sites.

The cons were:

The flat faces a raised train track, with very noisy trains going by regularly day and night.

Check-in was difficult. Our key was not left in the assigned place, and the manager’s phone was turned off. With the help of local people in the deli, we finally reached the manager’s husband, who then came by to let us in/leave our luggage, and clean. Perhaps there was confusion with the on-site manager about when we were to arrive. The staff in the deli key pick-up site said the key is always left with them the night before, and this was unusual. This might also explain why the flat was hastily cleaned and towels left wet in the dryer. There was no soap provided for showering.

Despite the above criticisms, I would still recommend this flat.
