Grafton Street District Apartments

The location is close to the Temple Bar area with lots of food options and easy walking distance to many historic and cultural locations. Also within close walking distance to public transportation. However, make sure you bring someone who is able to carry any suitcases up and extremely 3 flights of stairs. If you stay on the first floor of rooms be prepared for a delightful musty smell that seeps into all your clothing and water stains on the walls. If there are residents upstairs then you probably won’t be sleeping in as the sound of thumping feet echoes excellently through the floors. Evening relaxation is unlikely unless you can do that to the sound of speedbags and heavy beets from the downstairs boxing gym. I definitely felt misled by the photos that are advertised. You would think they would at least separate them so people know what location they will be renting. It’s a place to sleep in a building with an entrance secured by a passcode.

The location on Clarendon was amazing! I traveled with my three adult daughters and we were local to everything. The couch sofa bed was not the most comfortable and we could hear a lot of noise / construction from the street. Overall, however, it was a good place to stay and I would most likely stay again.

Terrible communication but good besides that

Great location. Tired apartment, badly fitted out. Absolutely bloody freezing when we arrived so turned all the heaters on, but not a comfortable start. Noise from the boxing gym downstairs from 7am or so was enough to wake you. Bed was comfy. Communication was all a bit last minute but was ok in the end. Typical noise from apartments above and to the side. There's just nothing like the sound of a bloke taking a leak first thing in the morning, in the apartment above having saved it up all night. Mr Niagra's prostate was healthy. Steep stairs at the entry.

Fabulous location—an easy 1 block walk to Grafton Street and in the center of copious shopping, food, and attractions! Loved having an apartment with a full kitchen and laundry. BUT, there was zero communication from property management prior to check in and the property is not marked and has no signage. Impossible to find without calling management, which is off-site with a hard-to-find phone number. We stayed in unit #6. The floors are awful (delaminating and damaged). The bathroom was grungy with a broken shower door that caused water to go everywhere and no shelf space to set travel bags. And the walls in the unit were stained and needed painting. Our friends stayed in unit #3 which was cleaner and nicer (but their couch was gross). I might stay here again because of the location, but would request unit 3 and be proactive in communicating with management ahead of time.
