Temple Bar Essex Apartments

On our last visit to Dublin, we (myself, wife, two sisters and friend) stayed in the three bedroom, two bathroom apartment, just down for the Ha'Penny Bridge. It was an absolute bargain! True, it isn't fancy, but it is very comfortable and functional. The location is top notch. We though we would be inundated with drunken noisemakers from Temple Bar, directly behind the building, but this wasn't the case. The apartment itself offers plenty of room, a fully functioning kitchen with all flatware and utensils, pots and pans supplied. You get a dishwasher AND a washer/dryer, which I can't say enough about. There is nothing better than flying home without a suitcase full of dirty clothes. The location is close to everything! This is Dublin. If you can't find a drink or a meal, then that's on you. Just remember, this is Europe and people here are allowed more of a work/life balance than we normally have in the states, so know that things close earlier here. Start your day earlier and you should be able to fit everything in. Just as an aside, I will be staying here again in July 2024.
