Lock & Quay

Trendy decorations, all the mod-cons you need and a location in the heart of the city? Yes, please. This loft apartment has it all, making it a great option for a Dublin getaway. We love the exposed brick walls, candy-pink paint and mid-century-inspired furniture. Most of all, we love the location. Just stroll across Ha’Penny Bridge and you're in Temple Bar, a historic hub of cafes, live music venues, pubs, and art galleries. Before heading out for the day, tuck into breakfast at the dining table. The modern kitchen may be on the small side, but it has all the culinary gear you need to whip up a quick meal. Not in the mood to cook? In the evening, grab pre-dinner cocktails in the mezzanine bar before hitting one of the award-winning restaurants in town. When you're feeling tired, head back and hit the hay in the comfy bed in the loft. With so much on your doorstep and a metro station three minutes away, Dublin is truly yours to explore.

Home truths:

*This is a part of a boutique aparthotel, which offers amenities like a gym and 24-hour reception – the lobby and communal areas are shared with other guests of the building
*There’s no private parking, so instead of driving, make use of the public transportation
*The host has several very similar homes in the same building – the exact layout, views, and design of your home might vary slightly from the photos
