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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Overall, this was a great place to stay. The apartment is definitely a bit worn and aged but still comfortable. Communication was excellent and the location was ideal for sight seeing.
The appartment was ideally placed for exploring the city, being close to bars and restaurants and very handy for the bus to airport. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Appartment was comfortable, spacious and good value for money. I would certainly recommend a stay here.
We loved being able to walk to everything - restaurants, Trinity, the Portal, and Guinness. Easy to get to by bus from the airport. Garrett was great and we had everything we needed in the condo. The view from the kitchen is unbelievable.
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.
Great location to enjoy Temple Bar area. Walk to all there is to offer. Easy access to Public transportation. Great view of river and city. Would book again. Perfect for our family of 4.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Nov, 2022
This is a little misleading, I feel. The guest asked could she drop off luggage prior to checkin time, which I was happy to facilitate. I thought it was understood that the apartment wouldnt be ready as the housekeepers were still cleaning. It seems this was misunderstood.
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!
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!
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.
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

About the host
Hosted by Garrett
A native Dubliner back living in Dublin after stints in New York, London and the West of Ireland. Fond of travelling but always happy to get back to Dublin. The apartment I have listed is right in the very centre of Dublin City - very genuinely, it couldn't be any more central; the centre of the centre, if you like.
