The Benson Two by Dublin At Home

Location Modern appartment

The location is good. The apartment is large and has a balcony. The apartment is quite modern and is quiet and peaceful. The staff managing the property are contactable by text and email and respond quickly.

The apartment has many attractive qualities, its size and the location, but it has been furnished cheaply and with little thought. The beds are v soft, the pillows are horrible and the quality of the bedding is extremely poor. The main bed did not even have a mattress protector cover. On my second day at the apartment I purchased pillows and new bedding. I also moved some of the bedroom lights into the living room because the existing lighting was either v dreary or couldn’t be controlled via a dimmer switch. The crockery was a cheap IKEA set of plates, bowls and tiny tiny cups. There are no wine glasses (only a few glass beakers) and the induction hob cannot be used with some of the pans. The toaster is minute, and my overall impression was of a nice flat which has been fitted out on the cheap. If your stay is a short one, these things may not be so important, but for anyone who is used to a good quality bed and bedding, the benson needs an upgrade. On arrival at the apartment literally nothing is provided. There is no complimentary tea or coffee or bottled water and not even a J cloth was in the kitchen. I would advise anyone using the apartment to arrive before 9pm when the local Spar is still open.
