Urban Rest - Merrion Square Apartments

Like a corporate apartment

Our studio had a bedroom over the kitchen. What you can't see from the listing is this: Ceilings in bedroom and kitchen are maybe 6'-0" if I'm being generous. My 6'-4" husband had to continually hunch or keep cracking his head. That was the biggest surprise and disappointment for us. I'll start with the positives: * It looks exactly like the pictures. * It's well fit out with all the appliances you'd expect in an apartment. * The host company was responsive on entry questions. * The location is near a lovely park and in a safe and quiet neighborhood (even with construction next door, which we saw but never heard). * Easy access to bus lines to get all over the city. * It's easy entry and access and even without an elevator the stairs aren't bad. * The apartment and the building were well maintained. * Extremely clean! Now for the less-than-positive because while it was good it could've been great. * The bed is in a niche with only one person having access to get in/out; it's already a double bed so with this, may be better suited for a single than a couple. * The coffee maker is Nespresso. Lovely when you have the handful of pods provided but a pain to find to buy more. * We didn't get two full sets of towels, just a bath mat, two bath towels, and a single hand towel. * It's stocked for your entry, not your full stay. Usually okay with this but not when I'm booking from a hotel site instead of a b-b type. * Roku TV. Have your own streaming accounts or no TV.

This was a fine property! Absolutely immaculate, well stocked with all essentials, and extremely well located for my needs.
