2 Bedroom Apartment in Temple Bar, Dublin

Fantastic, top-floor, two-bedroom apartment in a beautiful, old building in the very, very heart of Dublin City. Dublin City is quite literally at your fingertips! This is the best located Airbnb listing in Dublin - and that's no exaggeration. Top-floor, TWO-BEDROOM apartment in an Edwardian building right in the heart of Dublin city's old historic centre. It has unique won't-find-anywhere-else views of Dublin Castle and City Hall, two of Dublin's most iconic historic landmarks. The building is on Dame Street in Dublin 2, and is just a couple of minutes (or less) walk from all of Dublin's historic, cultural, social and tourist attractions. The apartment is full of history, tradition and character. It occupies the top floor of an old Edwardian building, located midway along Dame Street, which links Trinity College to Christ Church Cathedral. As well as views over Dublin Castle and Dublin City Hall from the living room and one bedroom, the other bedroom looks west towards Christ Church Cathedral. Where else would you get it? The apartment has been completely renovated in recent years (so has all the modern conveniences you could want, including fast WiFi internet connection, central heating, an electric shower and a fully-fitted kitchen), its original period features have been preserved (including solid oak wood flooring in the living room and bedrooms, granite stone flooring and a wonderful Belfast sink in the kitchen, and large sash windows in every room). It has two bedrooms (one with a double bed, the other with two single beds), a decent-sized living room with a kitchen off and a bathroom. Every room has large sash windows characteristic of the Edwardian era (early 1900s), so the apartment is full of natural light (if you're lucky, sunshine too!) from early in the morning until late in the evening. Everything you might need (bed linen, towels and kitchen items) is provided, as well as a small library of books on Dublin. Free 30Mb Wifi. 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! Have a glance at a map of Dublin and you'll see that Dame Street is right in the centre of everything that Dublin has to offer. Trinity College is at one end of Dame Street (3 minute walk from the apartment) and Christ Church Cathedral is at the other (2 minute walk in the other direction). On one side is Dublin Castle and City Hall, and on the other is Temple Bar. All other notable parts of the city – such as Grafton Street area, St Stephens Green, Merrion Square, O'Connell Street – are within a 10-15 minute walk. As well as being immersed in Dublin's history and culture, you're surrounded by the best cafes, restaurants, pubs and shopping in Dublin. One of the things that previous guests have all remarked on is that they didn't need to use public transport at all - no buses, no trains, no taxis. Very genuinely, you can walk anywhere in the city centre within a matter of minutes. Dublin City is quite literally on your doorstep! However, if you want to travel further afield, there are 3 taxi ranks on Dame Street itself (mere seconds away); there's a Dublin Bikes station across the street; dozens of bus routes within 50 metres; Jervis LUAS (tram) station is 5 minutes walk, and Stephen's Green LUAS (tram) station is 8 minutes walk; and Tara Street and Pearse Street DART (train) stations are both less than 10 minutes walk. If you're looking to travel out of Dublin, you can be in Connolly Station, Heuston Station or Busaras within 10-15 minutes. It's also a 2 minute walk from the Aircoach's Trinity College/College Green stop (Aircoach is an express airport-to-city bus service, which runs every 10 minutes and will get you to or from the airport in just 20 minutes). 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. Please also consider that this apartment is in the very heart of Dublin City. Genuinely, its location can't be exaggerated - you won't find a better located listing on Airbnb. There are hundreds of positives to this, but there a couple of negatives too: for one, there is no parking in the building (but if you're likely to need parking, let me know and I'll tell you the various options). Also, you have to expect that such a central location won't be exactly tranquil - there'll be the usual 'sounds of the city' and there's nothing anyone can do about it, I'm afraid! If this is likely to be an issue for you, let's talk about it before you book.

Summary: Apartment was great! Fantastic location and easy communication. beds where comfy too!
Erin D. May 26, 2025 06:49:03 PM
Summary: A perfect spot for our family of 4 to stay. Safe and close to everything. Host was very responsive and helpful.
Robert L. May 25, 2025 08:02:14 PM
Summary: Summary: we enjoyed our stay, the location and accommodations. I would recommend this apartment to anyone considering staying here. Read below for some further details. The Good- Garrett was very proactive with his communication leading up to the trip and extremely responsive to any questions I had. - location, location, location… everything you could want or need is within walking distance. Food, drinks, shops, convenient stores, they are all within 5-10 minutes walking distance. - As described, there is a washer/ dryer in the apartment… that is golden….- Apartment is clean, well stocked and has everything you would need to call a home base for a week. Things to consider:- The elevator broke 4 out of 5 days we were here. If you are unable to do stairs, consider that could be your only alternative to get to the room for days at a time…- There is no AC in the apartment. While here in early May, temps were in the 40’ F (4’ c) in the morning/ evening and 60’ F (16’ c) at the hottest time of the day. That said, the apartment got warm during the day even with all shades drawn. It did cool down by late evening hours. Opening windows would help, but no screens to keep unwanted guests out (birds, bugs, etc…)- Saturday night was live music night and they went on until 10pm.- The windows are per the era of the building (nothing wrong with that); but that comes with the understanding these are single pane windows with wooden frames, so you hear everything outside.

Summary: The photos are accurate but can’t express the noise factor of the location. It’s loud all night with revelers, ambulances and construction. This was to be expected being so close to the Temple bar neighborhood, but made more intense as we needed the windows open for air as we experienced an unusual heat spell and there’s no AC. There were 2 fans that helped immensely. Beds were hard and pillows not the best. The living area was fine and the coffee provided was excellent. Location is great for getting around on foot, just bring ear plugs!
Scott S. May 18, 2025 12:26:35 AM
Summary: The property is exactly as pictured and the owner is great to work with. He proactively reached out to us to arrange for check in prior to our departure from home and was easy to communicate with when our arrival ran late.The unit is, clean, well supplied and "kitchy" as would be expected in an older building. It has all of the necessities and is in walking distance to all that Dublin has to offer.We would definitely stay here again.
Bryan M. Apr 22, 2025 12:07:39 AM
Summary: Thank you so much Garrett for this amazing experience. We were in the heart of all of the action, staying above a local shop. We were able to cook eggs for breakfast, sleep in separate bedrooms, eat together at the table, lounge on the couch - and the best part was the people watching and convenient location. Walking distance from so many fun things. Highly recommended!
Elizabeth T. Nov 17, 2024 09:28:59 PM
Summary: Small, clean apartment in great location.
Chet J. Sep 21, 2024 08:44:53 PM
Summary: If you're looking to stay in the Temple Bar area, this is the place to stay. Easy walk to many bars and restaurants.
Julie G. Sep 13, 2024 07:57:14 PM
Summary: The apartment was clean. Double bed is short
Erin A. May 21, 2024 04:56:05 AM
Summary: We had a wonderful stay at Garrett's place for 3 nights! The apartment is in a fantastic location, right near the best restaurants in Temple Bar, and everything (including Grafton Street) is within walking distance. Check-in was super easy, communication with Garrett was great, and we had everything we needed during our stay. We'd highly recommend this location to anyone regardless of how long the stay - we hope to come back soon!
