Pros:

Nichts

Cons:

Zimmer ist sehr hellhörig, Schimmel im Bad, Toiletten hat kaum Toilettenpapier, schmutzige Fenstervorhänge, kaputter Stuhl, keiner Haartrockner, keine Zimmerservice, Fernseher funktioniert nicht. Der Gastgeber ist schlecht zu erreichen, und er hat den falschen Türcode gegeben. Auf den Straßen gibt es fast keinen Parkplatz.

Pros:

The property cancelled at 11pm the night before our check in due to an electrical fault. An undisclosed alternative location was offered but I declined and requested a refund. The refund was meant to be immediate however, 6 days later I am still waiting on my refund. I have contacted the property in relation to this and am still awaiting a response. Absolutely would not recommend.

Cons:

Struttura vecchia, prese a vista, in sostanza un corridoio con due letti a castello. Prezzo eccessivo per la qualità offerta.

In terms of value for money, I’d say you can’t find cheaper elsewhere but it’s whether you value sleep
Pros:

Location wasn’t too bad - about a 20 min walk to city centre.
Complimentary wine left in property, though we didn’t drink, nice touch with crisps/coffee pods etc.

Cons:

Loud neighbours, coming and going all night/slamming doors.
The shower head wasn’t height adjustable, way too low.
Cotton buds left in the bathroom.

Suited our needs, although would probably stay further out from the city centre in the future,
Pros:

The location was easy for access to downtown Dublin, and also for travelling out from the city.
Certainly was a quiet location for us.
Quick response to questions.

Cons:

Parking was a challenge, but got lucky.
Never managed to obtain wifi access. But then, we managed fine without.
Our neighbouring couple also has mixed success with wifi.

Pros:

Nothing, found the owner very rude.

Cons:

The owner/manager wats appd us at 4pm on the day we were due to stay and cancelled our stay stating there was electrical problems in the property. He refused to take a phonecall. He said he could not offer any alternative accomodation but would ensure we got a refund. When we checked on booking.com for alternative accomodation another appartment came up in the same building but he stated this was gone. He gave no real apology for the last minute cancellation and kept insisting we would get a refund in 2 minutes. But it takes 7 to 10 days.
Booking.com were very helpful when sorting this out.

Host promised a refund then ghosted us.
Cons:

The day we were supposed to check in the host reached out and let us know that due to an electrical issue the original apartment was not available but that he had another one we could use. We went to the new apartment but it was incredibly dirty, appliances did not work, and the sheets had not been cleaned. When we contacted the host about this he responded that we were free to find another place to stay and he would offer us a full refund as long as we left and left the keys. We were thankfully able to find a last minute alternative but when we began the refund process through booking.com the host ignored all communication from us and the site and is refusing to approve the refund. Do not trust this host or this location.
