Temple Bar District Apartments

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

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.

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.

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.
