And other people were trying to access my room at night time. From the communal toilet, this is not acceptable.

Ruim
Pros:

Não gostei de nada .pois o proprietário me alugou um quarto e eu chegando lá ele me redirecionou pra outro local distante de onde eu iria participar do evento a qual eu iria .não teve pequeno almoço.resumindo foi uma experiência muito ruim ter reservado este quarto do CROKE PARK STUDIO

Cons:

Não gostei da falta de comprometimento. Pois o proprietário alugou o mesmo quarto pra mais hóspedes,sendo que eu já tinha pago pra ficar com o quarto .isso não é coisa de pessoas honestas

Pros:

Жилье с кухней, можно себе что то приготовить, есть стол и стулья. Хозяева презентовали бутылку вина, было очень приятно. Остановка автобуса рядом, пешком в центр идти далековато, как по мне. Чисто, белье белоснежное.

Cons:

Мы жили втроем, кроватей на 6 человек. Вшестером думаю будет узковато. Для троих нормально. Таблетки для кофемашины не подходят для данной модели.

Pros:

Good location, clean

Cons:

The owner just didn’t send the informations to check in, we had to book a hostel for the 1st night. WiFi doesn’t work in the apartment 3, no range. My mom didn’t sleep because of the noice caused by the neighbours

Nice rest with some unnecessary unpleasant surprises.
Pros:

Proximity to the city centre. Very nice small outside area in front of this well-kept ground-floor studio. Quiet and otherwise clean. Good use of space for a tiny, tiny studio. In principle, everything you need, apart from the fact that all the dishes were dirty in the dishwasher (which didn't work). Clean sheet and comfortable beds. Very close to Lidl. Parking in the street is possible if you are lucky.

Cons:

There were no clean dishes in the kitchen - all dirty in the dishwasher (which we only noticed after trying to have dinner all with one fork). The staff is unresponsive. We waited for 4 h after check-in time before they sent us the entrance codes. They kept asking for the WhatsUp contact, which is strange because we were calling and texting them for 4 hours to get the codes. They only sent the codes after I called Booking customer service. There were burnt-out cigarette butts and half-empty cans outside the studio entrance, which we had to clean up ourselves.

Did the job
Pros:

The mattresses were comfortable enough

Cons:

The bathroom and main room was dirty
The shower was broken - apparently this was fixed during our stay but it wasn't
There was hardly any kitchen utensils
The microwave wasn't plugged in and was too high to use anyway
There wasn't really anywhere comfortable to sit but the room is too small to put a chair

Unresponsive staff did not add any value to this booking, would not recommend.
Cons:

Before I even checked in, I was asked for a 5 star review, not a good start….
In the bathroom, only one hand towel for two people. When I asked for two bath towels, I was told one was enough. Didn’t get a bath mat until the last day. The shower was full of mildew. I had to ask for more toilet paper…what place wouldn’t have a couple extra rolls?
The room is small but I expected that. The wifi never reached our room and we had to buy extra data to compensate.
The walls need a complete cleaning, marks and stains all over. There’s paint peeling on the ceiling.
Two taxi drivers warned us it was an unsafe area. The place is near a main street so traffic noise was clearly heard all night.
