About this apartment rental
A really nice 2-bedroom apartment in the very heart of Dublin City's old historical centre of TEMPLE BAR. It's a genuinely special apartment with striking views across the city. This is genuinely a superb two-bedroom apartment in the very heart of Dublin City - located in Temple Bar, which is pretty much where everyone wants to be when they visit Dublin. It has stunning view across Dublin at the front, and a quaint, private balcony at the back. From both the kitchen and living room, you can look out over Dublin City's historical quays, bridges and river - watching the ebb and flow of the river and the city itself. There are two bedrooms (each has a double bed). In addition to a large living room (with a large dining table and chairs), there's a separate kitchen (with a smaller table and chairs). You have access to everything and everywhere - it's all yours. I'll meet you when you arrive to say hello, give you keys, show you around the apartment, tell you what's what in the area and answer any questions. After that, if you need anything or have any questions, you can phone or email me. Always available and happy to help! Temple Bar is the most vibrant, exciting neighborhood in Dublin's city centre. A warren of medieval, cobble-stoned streets, it's officially Dublin's Cultural Quarter and houses dozens of art and culture organisations and institutes. It's also the heart of Dublin's social life... more cafes, bars, restaurants than anyone needs! Apartment is located bang in centre of Dublin City. This gives you very easy access to pretty much everywhere by foot (one of Dublin's charms is that it's a compact, walkable city that you'll get to know intimately very quickly). If you need to go farther afield, there's a choice of taxi ranks within a couple of minutes. The DART (suburban rail) is around 10 minutes away, while the LUAS (city tram system) is 5 minutes away. There are dozens of bus routes within 100 metres. Unfortunately, there's no elevator in the building - and the apartment's on the second floor (third floor in North American terms). That means 38 joyous steps up. It's worth the (small) climb! Standard check-in is at any arranged time between 3pm and 8pm. Because I can't personally do a check-in after 8pm, check-ins after 8pm are subject to a €50 fee to cover the cost of paying someone to meet you. Check-ins cannot be before 9.30am. Standard check-out is before 10am on the day of departure. If you're arriving into Dublin very early in the morning or departing late in the day, please consider the 3pm check-in time/10am check-out time before booking. Unfortunately, there is no luggage storage facility in the building. For those who need to store luggage before check-in or after check-out, I recommend Tourist Office Dublin (almost directly opp. the Front Gate of Trinity College Dublin at 37 College Green, Dublin 2, which is a 2 minute walk from the apartment). They'll store luggage here in a secure lock-up for a small fee.

We enjoyed staying at the apartment. It was accurately depicted in the VRBO pics and description. Great location in the Temple Bar Area. We walked most everywhere. Took cabs when our legs were tired. They were easy to flag down. There were a few grocery stores near us from which we got breakfast foods and snacks. A few things needed upgrading and updating but overall a good experience for my wife and me.
6.0 / 10.0
The location of the property was excellent, right in the heart of Dublin city, but not at all noisy. The host left us a nice bottle of wine as a welcome. The apartment was spacious, however it was not all that clean or well furnished. It is on the second floor and there is no lift, so a bit of a struggle with suitcases. There was mould on most of the window frames, damp patches in the bathroom, and the carpets in the bedrooms were not clean. My friend started to cough every time she walked into the main bedroom. There is a small outdoor balcony facing away from the river, but the furniture had not been cleaned for some time and so we could not sit out there unless we chose to clean the furniture thoroughly ourselves. The water pressure is not great, although this is not unusual in Dublin. This meant that the shower was tricky to operate. The kitchen was clean and well appointed, with a Nespresso machine, kettle, toaster, washing machine and dishwasher. There is a steam iron and ironing board, however the steam iron cannot be used with water in as it leaks all over the clothes. There is a hairdryer in the main bedroom. The second bedroom is quite small, so there is nowhere to leave a suitcase open. You need to transfer it from the bed into the wardrobe and back again according as you need it. There is plenty of space in the main bedroom. All in all, it was suitable for a few days we were in Dublin, but the place really needs a deep clean and fresh coat of paint.

Really enjoyed our stay in Dublin! Apartment was as pictured. Clean, roomy and in an excellent location. In a popular area but was not bothered by noise at night, easy to sleep. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

Great location. Good space. Good central spot to spend the night(s). Can be a bit loud from voices in the stairway / hallway... which is fine as long as it's 100% expected --- especially late on weekend nights from fellow Temple Bar visitors. Overall we are positive about the spot, just be sure to expect it to be compact and used for utility and convenience more than pure comfort. Would definitely return.

Perfect location for our 3 days in Dublin. Walked to everything - Guinness Storehouse, Jameson, and lots of great pubs!! Nice little breakfast/sandwich coffee shop next door. Great views and it worked fine for 2 couples.

We stayed in Garrett’s 2 br flat for 9 days over Samhain week. The view of the Liffey is amazing at night, and the local cannot be beat if you want to be close to Temple bar. The building is extremely secure and with a nice kitchen and washer/dryer. The view of the Halloween fireworks in the city could not be beat.
Garrett is very quick to respond if you have any issues
Rent this place!

Great view of the river and wonderful location to easily access restaurants, pubs, and historic sites. The decor was a bit worn but was comfortable and clean. Having access to a washing machine was a nice plus after being on the road for a bit.

This apt was a perfect place to stay in Dublin, walkable to much of the city and right in the heart of Temple Bar. It is a busy area but the rooms are quiet, and it was more spacious than I was expecting. It also had great views! Garrett and Raiana were incredibly responsive, hospitable and accommodating and we would absolutely stay here again if we came back.

Location is great and good view from kitchen and dining. Negative is no elevator, ne3ded instructions for water temp boost. Our 1st experience with washer dryer combo and was very frustrating. The delay from landing to checkin meant we were dragging bags through Dublin for 4 hours.
On any trip like this my 1st stay will be a hotel so i can store bags at site until i can check in.
If u r traveling light, this is a great location and accomdations comfortable.

The apartment at Isode Tower was perfect for us. We enjoyed seeing the river at both high and low tide and people commuting by bicycle in the mornings. Looking out at the old town felt as though we were already touring Dublin while sipping our morning coffee. Everything we wanted to see was a short walk from the apartment. Another plus - The bedrooms face the interior courtyard; they were very quiet. Only issue was that the curtains don't darken the bedrooms as much as we like, but we solved that by wearing the comfortable sleep masks we got for sleeping on the airplane. We enjoyed our stay! - Pam

We stayed at the appartment over the Christmas period and had a great time. Appartment is at the end of the Temple Bar so far enough away from the noise, but just around the corner of all the bars and restaurants. We made good use of the surprisingly spacious appartment (photos don't do it justice) and venturing out and about in all directions. An incredibly accomodaring host with plenty of handy ammenities inside. We really appreciated it all and highly recommend.

Can’t recommend this stay enough. Location was absolutely amazing, couldn’t ask for more. The views of the water were great and the living space was perfect for morning coffees and evening chats and drinks.
Garrett was a very helpful host and accommodated our requests when he could. Great value and would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Garrett, our host was really nice about allowing us an early check-in to accommodate our arrival from the US. That was really helpful and lovely. When we arrived, we found the location to be in the west end of Temple Bar; very central and convenient, but not too frenetic and crazy. The location was truly "just right". However, the apartment itself was just a little tired. The heater in the main room wasn't working, the dishwasher had water standing in it (so we didn't use it), the shower controls were a little worn and were problematical for some of us (you will see that comment in other reviews here), and the stove top (hob) wasn't working reliably. But, the oven worked great!
So a few little nuisances, but a very accommodating host and a truly outstanding location.

Exceptionally clean, safe, incredible views, close walking distance to all temple bars. Garrett was very accommodating to our needs and prompt to respond to our messages. 100% would go back. Highly recommend. Also recommend you download Uber for taxi service for places outside of temple bar.

This apartment was just perfect for my family while we were staying in the city. It was so well appointed and had everything we needed, and the location was incredible! We were in the center of everything, yet we couldn't hear any street noise from the bedrooms. Definitely would come back should we get the chance to visit again.

Couple in their 50s stayed at this location in Temple Bar. Condo is extremely well located in the Temple Bar yet very quiet on the very cute balcony.
Host Garrett was communicative and even arrange for us to check in slightly early.
Everything was in great working order, view of River Liffey were excellent and restaurants/pubs/shops within a 2 minute walk.
I highly recommend this condo and would stay there again myself.

Garret and Niall were awesome. Very responsive and super friendly. They were able to accommodate us early in the day for arrival l.
This place is super cute and the perfect size. Amazing views from the living room of The Liffey and walking distance from everything. 15-20 minutes walk to Trinity, Merrion Square, Grafton St, Jameson.
One note, the space doesn’t have a TV. Absolutely not a deal breaker since there’s so much to do nearby that you’ll likely not need it much, if at all.
I would 1000% book this rental again for a party size of 2-4.
A Dublin visit MUST.

Location is Optimal

We really enjoyed our stay in Dublin and especially the location of this property directly in Temple Bar. Closest parking is about 5 minutes away and can run anywhere from 20 to 60 euros depending on the length of stay. For the first night we paid a little over 20 euros but then from 12:30 to 9:30 the next morning it was almost 40 euros. Not a deal breaker but just be aware.
The apartment was comfortable for a family of four. Our biggest issue was the shower. We struggled with getting the shower to stop making noise or running. It would turn on when flushing the toilet or running faucet in kitchen. We were able to figure out a system that worked but it does need to be repaired. This did not detract from the place but was just an annoyance.
We enjoyed our stay at this apartment but it would have been ideal had the shower not been annoying.
