Stoneybatter holiday rentals

Location, property and owner all outstanding.

Very enjoyable stay for a family of 5 adults!

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.
