Temple Bar District Apartments

Nous n’avons pas eu l’appartement que nous avions réservé (apparemment dégâts des anciens locataires). Celui que nous avons eu était moins bien situé par rapport à nos attentes et d’un standing inférieur. Il était très bruyant et beaucoup moins cosy que celui que nous avions réservé. Et cela pour le même tarif!!!

Appartement très très bien situé dans le quartier de Centre ville de Dublin, à environ 100m du célèbre Temple Bar. A proximité à pied de tout, comme énoncer dans l’annonce, idem pour comment se déplacer. Appartement est daté mais propre, cuisine équipée, lave vaisselle, un lave linge est également disponible. Plusieurs appartements dans le même immeuble (et certainement d’autres dans la ville) sont gérés par City Break Apartments Ltd. Attention, il n’y a pas de service d’accueil directement à l’adresse du séjour. Le check-in et check-out se fait uniquement au bureau central, celui se trouve à 15-20 minutes à pied de l’appartement. Vous aurez la possibilité de confier vos bagages si besoin. Après les pubs et après avoir visité Dublin. Si vous souhaitez, vous pouvez aller faire une randonnée à 15 km environ en dehors de Dublin, vous pourrez vous rendre à la presqu’île de Howth, c’est à environ 30 minutes en transport en commun (depuis la station de gare PEARSE).

Fantastisk beliggenhet, dog noe bråk utenfor om kvelden.

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

It was impossible to have to go far away from the apartment to “register”, and only get instructions to get keys who then still were a block away from the apartment, in a lockbox that was hidden in an area behind two doors (not exaggerating), and nobody explained that there were two different codes -one to get behind the doors, then another one (that they forgot to tell us!) to open the lockbox to the key….. We finally got in, only to find someone working on a broken bathroom door… it was cold but it took a lot of trial and error to get any heating working… then there was no hot water, until we figured out that there’s a hidden water heater (that also nobody told us about…) that open actually needs to “boost” only to get any hot water at all… The fact that there was absolutely hideous music coming from the touristy bar across the street wouldn’t have been an issue since this is to be expected with a place in the middle of the party tourist zone… Redeeming qualities were that it was moderately clean-ish, and good location if one likes to party! And a fantastic pub right underneath with actually beautiful music at night, making up for the trash across the street! The bed in the bedroom was a bit of a torture instrument… but it was clean and warm. The pull out couch covering the entire living room in its pulled out stage was also hard as rock but clean- again, fine if you just want to party and then keel over… Sorry I was too cheap to get a nicer place- wasn’t worth it!
