Locke, Stock and Rosé

This beautifully bright studio is bang in the centre of Dublin, right on the River Liffey and just across the Ha’penny Bridge from Temple Bar. It’s just a hop, skip and a jump to cobbled streets crammed with bars, shops and galleries. Set in a block of four Georgian townhouses, this ex-nightclub now houses a slew of serviced apartments that give you five-star amenities in the privacy of your own home – including a fully equipped kitchen, so you can be as creative as you like in the culinary department. By day, guests can make the most of the residents’ gym, and by night, sip pre-dinner cocktails in the mezzanine bar. The pastel colours and the retro-chic interior are a welcome sanctuary from the bustling streets below. You can hit the sights hard safe in the knowledge you’ve got a little slice of serenity with your name on it.

Home truths:
*These apartments are above a bar and in a busy area
*There’s the option to have a double bed or two single beds
*This home is part of a hotel – the lobby and communal areas are shared with other guests of the building
*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
