Paying for location rather than quality
Excellent location, literally seconds from the heart of Temple Bar. Place itself was fairly basic - missing light fittings in a couple of rooms and mould in the shower, but did a job for a weekend away.

Nice location, room, BYO:Everything
Very nice place and very quite for the location. Though some tenants were partying pretty hard in the other rooms...it didn't bother me. The lack of luggage storage at check in or check out is a miss and the late check in left me a bit stranded on my first day...4:00PM is quite late for a 6:00AM arrival by plane. Ideally, I would take a later flight to avoid this in the future. The location of the office is the same so I thought I could store luggage but the management is completely different. All in all, I would stay again but would recommend a late arrival for anyone. Also bring your own: coffee, tea, laundry soap...nothing is provided.

Nice!
Read some awful reviews the day before we arrived so I was panicking! but it turned out I had nothing to worry about. the apartment was nice, few issues like peeling wall paper but the string smell of bleach just made me feel like it was definitely clean. No real complaint. Excellent location

This is a great property, but I wouldn't want to stay here with more than two people. The bedroom and bed are quite comfortable, but the second bed is a very uncomfortable sofa bed. The sofa bed is in a room with a large window through which a bright light shines all night, and no curtains. The location is wonderful for a visit to temple bar. Guests have to pick up and drop off keys from an alternate location, which is mildly inconvenient if you are traveling with much luggage. Expect some noise if you stay here - crowds coming home from a night out in temple bar will generate some noise!

Don't ever rent from them.
The Temple Bar Apartments did not have anyone on the property. You had to pick up the key in a different location. You only received 1 key. The bathroom light went out and there was no window. We called and they said they could stop in the next day to fix it. We had no light for the bathroom. We had to use our phone light to take a shower. They were rude and inconsiderate.

Great Location.....That’s it!
Negative: First thing we saw was mould on the tiles in bathroom, the furniture was cheap & uncomfortable, no tea towels, flooring needs replacing & the shower rose kept falling down & water goes onto the floor which you could slip on getting out of the bath, pillows hard & flat, tv didn’t work first night but was fixed once we emailed next day, having 3 remotes was confusing! Positive: Great location, walking distance to so much. For the amount we paid we expected better so you are paying for being central it is definitely not what we would consider 4star. If it was possible to get a refund we would have left after first night. :(

The location was good and the space was good for our group. The property was quite worn, nicked, scuffed walls and baseboards. The sofa was worn/ripped. The beds were very hard and uncomfortable. Nice to have a clothes washer/dryer. We were denied more than on e key so it made it quite challenging for four adults to access the apartment.

Dublin
This is on the 3rd floor of a building with no AC. Normally in Dublin that is probably fine but we were there in June and it was uncomfortably hot. We had only 1 key set, a key to enter the building and a key into the apartment. With 4 adults who may not always come and go together, that does not work. If we don't have the key, we have to hope the person with the key is still there, call them to walk down 3 flights of stairs to let us in and back up 3 flights of stairs. There is no lift. This was advertised as including a coffee maker but none was there. No french press either.

This apartment exceeded my expectations in every way but one. Location is great. 5 minutes from Grafton street. Surrounded by pubs and restaurants. The price is fantastic. The apartment is very well equipped and had everything for a stay of a few weeks. The only problem is the noise at night. There is a pub on the opposite side of the street where you have a hundred people singing and yelling until 2:30 in the morning. On Friday and Saturday nights, we slept in the back room of the apartment on the sofa bed and closed the doors. That got rid of most of the noise.

- property staff emailed one night before, asking for our credit card details via email or phone to process a 200 euros deposit. The email was via a gmail account instead of an official email account, thus we preferred to provide the details upon check in. However the staff insisted we provide the details via the 2 communication channels as there is no check in counter, and said our booking would be cancelled if the details were not provided by 2pm (it was past 12 noon when we were communicating, and we were due to check in at 4pm). We did not appreciate the attitude, and were left with no choice but to take the risk. Upon check it, it appears there is a waiting area and an office, so we cannot really comprehend why it was stated that there's no reception area for us to provide our credit card details face to face. - the apartment was stated to be suitable for 4 to sleep (which may be true given the sofa bed), however our group of 3 barely had the space to open our luggages without jumping over them in the apartment. - 3 heaters are present in the room, but 2 were not working. The apartment is generally dated and smells stale. Even the wall clock was not working. - the location is great as it's close to many attractions. However it is in a very lively area being temple bar and the rooms are not sound proofed, so be prepared for disturbed sleep if you're a light sleeper. I will not reccomend living in the area or renting with this company. Note there are no lifts as well.

Location was very good! The bedrooms were perfect for a group of 5 but would also be ok for 6 people. The only disadvantage was that it was very noisy at night and drafty due to bad window isolation (but the heaters went well ;))

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Apartment was great size and well equipped. My only negatives were the lounge had a terrible damp smell and the apartment was located right next to a construction site so we were awoken from 7am to drilling and banging

Super Apartment
Fantastic place to be...I will stay there again. The main issue I didn't realize when I booked the apartment is the 4:00 PM check in. My flight came in super early and I would have attempted to arrange an earlier check in. Also, if you don't like stairs, you might ask for a lower unit...I am sure they have one.

The apartment was as pleasant as expected and quiet considering the area that it was in. The check in process needs to be addressed. When booking did not realize that check in area is so far from actual apartment. That should be made clearer in the booking process
