The apartment in Temple district was clean, well equipped, and convenient to attractions and restaurants. However, it lacked air conditioning and the street noise made it difficult to sleep.

The property was very modern and clean. Depending on which place you rented keep in mind potential for carrying luggage up flights of stairs. Wifi was a bit of a challenge with 7 guests. We really enjoyed our stay. The location was great for walking Dublin and would recommend this place to others.

Great location. It does get noisy but you are in the middle of Temple Square so it is expected. We had a couple of small issues but host was quick to respond and address.

Nice apartment, great location!!!

Wonderful stay, great location! The apartment could use some minor cosmetic improvements but overall a great stay and all amenities you could need with a full kitchen! Easy to access especially with the new smart lock process, very flexible with early check in when possible. I would love to stay again in Dublin at this property but would request if possible a unit on the side that overlooks the busy bustling Temple Bar alleyway (Crown Ally rather than Cope Street). Overall a great stay!

We wanted accommodation in the middle of the Temple Bar area. This apartment was right in the middle of it. The apartment was clean and there was everything we needed.

So our flight got in early and i requested early check in. I thought the app could do it. But there were issues. I was extremely frazzled and annoyed initially trying to figure out exactly where the bldg was and def confused on the listing as to what apt number we were. There’s no one on site so you’re kinda at the mercy of emailing. We are from the us so of course we were having issues w eSIM and phones working. We sat in the ice cream gelato place while I frantically msgsd Eventually we figured it out. But once in. The apartment was totally wonderful. We had zero idea how to properly use the washing machine.. it said it was gonna take 9 hours 😂😂😂 The water was sorta sketchy at best. First day we got hot water. Second day. Not so much. Location was fabulous and super cool apartment but wish they had better ways to communicate and maybe a sign that says “city break apartments” so at least you know your at the right building

Fantastic location, office staff great. Good kitchen set up with everything we needed. Not the comfiest of beds, the bathroom definitely needed an overhaul - broken tiles and the shower screen leaked which turned the floor into puddles. Would however stay again on a short trip due to location and service. the issues were only minor

Fantastic location. Shops, restaurants, and the River Liffey within a few minutes walk. Keyless entry to the apartment, using an app, was convenient. The balcony was nice. Having a washer was good. The apartment smelled very fresh when we opened the door, however, the place could use an overall refresh. There were stains on the sofa, in the bathtub and mold on the bathroom ceiling. There was outside music and noise up until 3 am each morning, but given the location, we expected this. Because of the great location, would recommend to others.

Lovely location! We had a good stay, but noticed a few issues around the apartment. The back of the bathroom door was covered in visible mold, and the bathroom rack was a bit rusty. The curtains in the main room came loose a few times and we had to hook them back up. Security was easy and we felt safe and comfortable in the building. We loved how close we were to Temple Bar and to transit!

Heating and hot water failed twice. Sofa was awful, very uncomfortable and only seated 2 but accommodation is for 5. This made relaxing difficult. Kitchen amenities were great. Bathroom is worn out. Security great but Upkey didn’t switch easily between locks. Staff were great and responded quite quickly. Parking @fleet street Q park would have been good to know prior $70/5 days

The apartment itself was excellent. Updated and modern, clean throughout, comfortable beds. Excellent location right in the heart of the Temple Bar District. Loud at night on the weekends, but we actually enjoyed hearing the music and the crowds - very lively and vibrant! And if you close all of the windows, it really does block out most of the sound. The only issue is the communication and the check-in process, which is not very good. And just be warned that you will need to set things up on THREE different apps - Expedia, City Break, and UpKey, which is not clearly communicated when you reserve through Expedia. When we arrived at the unit, we could not get in because the virtual key (another problem, discussed later…) was not available. When I called, they said that I had not made the second and final payment yet, even though they had my credit card on file AND they had automatically charged my card for the first payment. I didn’t realize that I had to affirmatively make the final payment (which was not communicated in advance) rather than being automatically charged, WHICH IS WHAT HAPPENED for the first payment. Very stressful getting this sorted out while standing in the middle of road with all of our luggage. And the digital key was also problematic. Many times it took us 3 or 4 or 5 tries to get it to work, which was also very stressfully. Whenever we left the apartment, we were worried about get back in! So great apt. and great location. Horrible check-in and key.

Location is amazing - just that the street is noisy so be prepared to hear noise all night and early in the morning. The place was clean. We had some issues and they were addressed by the property manager the same day.

Fantastic location. Spacious apartment.

Fantastic location. Everything you could want was a walkable distance. Room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was a bit run down but not as bad as others have said. We were very pleased with our stay.

Refrigerator didn’t work. QR code provided for appliance instructions didn’t work. Had to figure out how the hot water worked. Provided a stained duvet for couch pullout bed. Replacement linen was provided, but it was sheets, no blanket, and no pillow cases. Also, the linen was dropped off inside the apartment while we were asleep. We found that quite odd.

We did appreciate the great location. What we did not like was the hide à bed poor mattress, especially for adults. The fire alarm that went on due to next door restaurant exhaust fan that got all the appartments fire alarm system to go on at 10PM.

Pros- walkable to dining and transit. Spacious-the apartment had good space for our family of 5, clean. The entire center s thing 10-15 mins walking. Lots of nightlife right outside. Cons- this place needs to be renovated. Windows don’t open or some don’t lock, the seals are leaky and don’t dampen outside noise The area is pretty noisy at night. Beds need to be replaced, bathroom lights are corroded and not working, cabinets are in poor condition. Very 90s vibe.

We had no hot water for showers. Overall just not a very nice place- shower had exposed wood, floor planks were coming apart etc. Communication was good.

2/10 Poor

First of all they switched us to the Parnell Blvd Apartments so I have no clue if these apartments are good. The floors at the new location, had paint stains and paint dust all over them. There was no signage in the hallways and the elevator had bashed in buttons and the hallways had random doors open showing exposed pipes. The noise level was extremely high and we were shocked they’d move us to such a terrible alternative. On top of all that they forced me to use their app, which not even their staff could get to work. We found other accommodations. I’d give 0 stars if that was an option.

It was impossible to have to go far away from the apartment to “register”, and only get instructions to get keys who then still were a block away from the apartment, in a lockbox that was hidden in an area behind two doors (not exaggerating), and nobody explained that there were two different codes -one to get behind the doors, then another one (that they forgot to tell us!) to open the lockbox to the key….. We finally got in, only to find someone working on a broken bathroom door… it was cold but it took a lot of trial and error to get any heating working… then there was no hot water, until we figured out that there’s a hidden water heater (that also nobody told us about…) that open actually needs to “boost” only to get any hot water at all… The fact that there was absolutely hideous music coming from the touristy bar across the street wouldn’t have been an issue since this is to be expected with a place in the middle of the party tourist zone… Redeeming qualities were that it was moderately clean-ish, and good location if one likes to party! And a fantastic pub right underneath with actually beautiful music at night, making up for the trash across the street! The bed in the bedroom was a bit of a torture instrument… but it was clean and warm. The pull out couch covering the entire living room in its pulled out stage was also hard as rock but clean- again, fine if you just want to party and then keel over… Sorry I was too cheap to get a nicer place- wasn’t worth it!

Disappointed

This property felt dirty. The photos are deceiving and don't show the filth in the apartment. The couch was stained so we placed a comforter on it to sit. The tub was stained, tile cracked and dirty. The balcony door was broken and didn't lock. We stayed in apartment 1 and it was not worth the cost.

2/10 Poor

This trip was disappointing. One accurate part was that it was, in fact, in Temple Bar district. Apparently, I should have known this was not the area for me, but alas, I have never been to Dublin so I didn't honestly know any better. I'll start with check in. It was a nightmare. Never got the email for check in until after I was able to finally connect with someone. The directions led you to an inaccurate location, had to walk to a secondary location to collect a key for the apartment (WHICH WAS NOT THERE), had to call 21 times to reach someone after being hung up on, had to wait until they found the key (mind you this is 4.5 hours after allowed check-in). The cleaning staff forgot to return it, so we had to walk to a THIRD location to meet her at our apartment. After a very long and tiring day of travel with 2 small kids -- this was a very painful endeavor. I will follow it with, everything is loud, and filthy. Loud because across the way there is a pub, next to pubs around pubs and the drinking and dunk songs will go into the wee hours ending around 4:00 AM... To then be followed up by 6:00 AM construction start time in the building NEXT DOOR. This stay was horrible and had I not paid over $3,000 booking it, I would have left and found better accomodations. I generously give it a 1 star, but frankly, not even deserving of that.

The stay was bad the bad tub was dirty and I called three times which they stated they would clean three times and which never happened. The place was in communication with me but failed to tell me the location and how to locate. When it came to the check-in, it was a 16 minute walk to just get the keys and the individual at the desk stated they emailed me, but I couldn’t find the reservations when I tried to make an account, but they were able to find my reservations on their computer with the same exact number and name. The place in general is very dirty. The couch was stained and dirty. The remote had no batteries. There was stains on the door and on the walls again the bathtub looks very dirty and they refuse to clean it even though they claim that they were gonna. The person at the front desk was very rude when it asked about how to check out in overall the experience, which is terrible. I would not recommend it’s in a good location, but the place itself is dirty filled with construction trash bags to walk on the stairs,which was not mentioned the building is undergoing a lot of construction. there’s also a lot of construction outside that you can hear inside and people playing music in the apartments that you can hear in the apartment.
