Very good

Nice property in a good location. Very good communication with the rental agency. Walking distance to 3Arena and most of the city sights, with a tram stop only a block away. The only downsides were thin windows with lots of outside noise, and beds which were average at best in terms of comfort.
We used this as our home base as we also traveled up North for a few days. We have nothing but great things to say about the process. Just wonderful. Damien picked us up from the airport and even after check in he walked us through the apartment, how the appliances worked (thank heavens). We used him for a couple trip to the airport, cheaper than an Uber/Lyft when I compared. Clean, very nice area, away from all the tourists and noise but the tram was easy to hop on and off any day (get a 7 day pass). We were around the corner from the Jeanie Johnston so each night we were at the waterfront for sunset. Shops are close by etc. Would highly recommend this place.
When I booked this VRBO, it was not clear that I was renting a corporate apartment similar to the one listed but not the actual one listed. The apartment we ultimately stayed in did not have the amenities or layout of the one I thought I reserved. This was particularly an issue with the sleeping situation where the advertised space included 2 twin beds in the second bedroom but the apartment we stayed in only had one. The check in process is confusing because you have to go to their corporate office to get keys and check in and then go to the apartment, which was in a completely different location. We never figured out the address for our actual apartment, which made it difficult to have food ordered or give to a cab driver. The apartment was very hot and we could not turn the temperature down. A maintenance man came to look at it and suggested we open the windows. There were no instructions for the washer/dryer, which was hard to use. We couldn't even find the brand or instructions through a Google search. The best feature of the apartment is the taxi service that comes as an additional, optional expense. Because of the confusing, multi-stop check-in process, it would have been difficult to get there without it. Jay was very reliable and helpful. And finally, the location was ok but not great. Too far from the tourist sites and good dining options. I would not stay here again.
This nicely-sized condo overlooking a courtyard and the River Liffey served as base for our Dublin trip. It was a brief 10 minute walk from anything, but quieter than staying near Temple Bar or other similar neighborhoods. The LUAS is right out the door. There is a M+S grocery outlet right beneath you. There are also a dozen restaurants within walking distance.
Great place to stay if attending an event in Convention center
Excellent location for attending events in The Convention Center. As we were a group of individuals we would have preferred more keys for the apartment, but the close location to the conference center helped a lot so swapping keys wasn't that big of a problem.
The dual bed only has one large duvet instead of two separate ones, but that is probably due to a cultural difference, as friends in Hotels encountered the same thing.
Water heater was located in a closet middle of the apartment, which was a curious choice in our opinion, and it was a bit noisy every time someone used shower or toilet.
Overall we enjoyed our stay and had a Great WorldCon.
Die Wohnung war für unsere Familie (5 Personen) gut ausgestattet.
Die Lage ist ebenfalls gut:
Viele Sehenswürdigkeiten sind fußläufig in ca. 20 Min. erreichbar. Auch die Sehenswürdigkeiten außerhalb der Stadt in nördl. Richtung (z. B. Howth Cliff Walk, Malahide Castle) bzw. südl. Richtung (z.B. Bray Cliff Walk, Dun Laoghaire/Sandycove/Dalkey) sind mit der DART-Bahn problemlos zu erreichen.
Straßenbahn- (LUAS) und Flughafenbus (Airlink) Haltestellen befinden sich direkt vor der Haustür. Der zentrale Bahnhof "connolly station" (DART) und die zentrale Busstation "busaras" erfordern nur 10 Min. Fußweg.
3 kleinere Supermärkte in direkter Nähe; große Supermärkte am Bahnhof.
Straßenlärm ist wahrnehmbar.
Die Kontakte mit der Argentur und die Schlüsselübergabe im Büro waren unkompliziert. (Mit Airlink-Bus zum Büro; dann Fußweg vom Büro zur Wohnung ca. 20 Min,)

Dublin 16. - 20. maj 2019
Vi var ikke tilfredse med, at vi skulle vente ½ time på at blive afhentet i lufthaven da vi ankom til Dublin. Og da vi skulle hjem igen, og jeg bestilte en taxa via udlejningskontoret for at blive afhentet søndag morgen - dukkede der aldrig nogen taxa op!!! Vi fandt heldigvis selv en, og kom til lufthavnen rettidigt. Lejligheden var fin, bortset fra at der var meget koldt i stuen, og vi aldrig fandt ud af, at få ovnen til at virke.

Comfortable, great value
Clean, comfortable, good value for the price and located in a safe area. The walkway outside the apartment can get a bit loud at night (traffic both by foot and car are nearby), but it could be much worse if you were staying in the Temple Bar area which is close by but far enough to remove you from the high pace and crowds. The leasing office was very accommodating and were available for any questions (we had none). Check in was easier than I thought it would be, but I suggest (if you are flying into Dublin) you take them up on the transfer service which takes you right to the office where you check in (which is not where the apartment is). I would have had a hard time finding it were it not for our driver. This made life easy for us. There a TONS of dining options (from fast take out to higher end sit-down restaurants) within walking distance as well as two coffee shops and a griever store only a few feet from the apartment block. The busy, touristy Temple Bar area is walking distance but not so close that you are overrun by tourists here. Overall this was a very positive rental experience for us and if you are traveling with family or for business, this is a great accommodation.

spacious close from city centre
Stayed in these apartments during the all Ireland finals with the family.
We had booked for 4 x persons but had a last minute guest, the person we spoke to in the office arranged an extra bed free of charge on the spot and the bed was delivered within the next couple of hours.
The apartments are spacious, the one we stayed in had a nice large balcony (perfect for us smokers).
The location is really nice we first thought that we would be way out of town but ended finding out the we where located 15 minutes walk to O'Connell street and 20 from Temple Bar perfect to celebrate our teams victory !

Great apartment! Friendly staff!
We stayed at Spencer Dock apartments for 7 nights recently and it was absolutely amazing! From the smooth check-in process, (where they were kind enough to let us check in early) to the sensational service from all staff. We can't fault one thing.
We have also used the aiport pick service which is a good value and made the check in very easy.
The rooms are very spacious and beautiful and the kitchen had all the utensils needed to use. There is also a big balcony which gives the apartment a big plus (especially for smokers, as the apartments are strictly non-smoking).
The location is good for sighseeing, being located within 15 minutes walk to city centre and there is also a tram line within 2 minutes walk. The area is also very quiet and away from the noisy city centre.
Overall, we could not ask for more for our city break in Dublin.
Would recommend this company and we will use it again when we will come back to Dublin!

Very happy with apartment stay and would recommend
Stayed in a two bedroom apartment with my family and was very happy with overall experience.
Firstly the apartment in very clean, we have young child so this was most important.
The kitchen was well equipped and owner obviously listen to the other review which was great for us.
Beds are comfortable and quiet.
Tram line is 200 meters which is great to get into city otherwise it's 15 minute walk.
Very good and recommend airport pick-up service, made for easy check-in.

Nice apartment, but watch the details
This is a nice clean apartment, conveniently located. Users should be made aware of the following:
1. The office where keys are picked up is not close to the apartment. No one was available at the apartment.
2. There is an extra charge for parking: 50 euros a week. This was not mentioned in the quote even though I specifically said parking was required.
3. We had to ask the manager to visit the apartment to show us how to use the kitchen facilities and the TV. No manuals or instructions were in the apartment.
4. Expect very little in the kitchen: No condiments--"salt and pepper shakers" listed on the inventory were paper samples from a fast food place. There were no paper towels or hot pot holders. The coffee pot is a small French press.
5. While there is plenty of light from large windows on either end of the apartment, the only "view" is of other apartment windows sharing a view of each other.
6. The concierge for the buildings is not involved with specific apartment concerns, but is a valuable resource for information about the area.

Nice flat
We spent 1 week with 4 persons. The flat was big enough for 4 adults. Unfortunately, the flat hasn't been cleaned before we arrived, we had only 2 towels for 4 persons and the kitchen was poorly equipped (no cookware, no salat bowl, no tabs for the dishwasher, etc.). The bathroom had no window and the temperature inside was really high! We couldn't put it down.
The various concierges were all very nice and very helpful. The agency that we've contacted a few times was aiming to help us but it took quite long to have everything fixed.
The only TV working was in the living room. The other one in the sleeping rooms had no connection.
Beside the facts that people used to talk very late at night in the inner courtyard and neighbours had parties till early in the morning, it was a nice place to stay, very close to the center - about 30 minutes of walk.
For a weekend or a very short vacation, I would recommend it. But not for a longer time.
