Macreddin Village Holidays from £255

It would have been good if in the Advert it explained that there is a large deposit that has to be paid upfront, more than the cost of 1 night. The apartment I stayed in was dated. The door trims were coming off, the wardrobe doors were off the runners (sliderobes) and the TV didn't produce any sound. It could use an update.

The AC didn’t work the entire time we were there despite calling about it. The walk to our room was like a maze and with luggage, it was quite a haul.

We had a lot of trouble when none of the appliances worked because of an electric problem and you had to be a brain surgeon to get the washer to work

We chose this apartment for its proximity to Temple Bar. We were a family of four staying here for a few nights. Pros: Great location and very walkable to many restaurants and bars. There's a separate living room and bedroom. Looks out over the river. The rental company was pretty responsive and our room was ready early when we arrived. Has a washer/dryer combo. Cons: It was noisy at night and kept up the two people sleeping in the living room on the foldout couch. There's no AC. We didn't realize this when booking it. It wasn't too hot when we stayed but it's definitely a consideration if it's the height of summer. The washer and dryer didn't dry our clothes. We watched the demo video the rental company had on the app but the washer we had didn't match the one in the video and the controls didn't make sense. While there was plenty of room, there wasn't much space to sit down other than on the foldout couch and bed. We weren't in the room a lot, though, so it was fine.

I liked the fact that I was able to leave my laguage in their office for half a day free of charge after the check out. The staff is extremely helpful. The property is cosy and well equipped. I didn't like the fact that the office is quite far from the property but to be honest it is still a walking distance (half an hour).
