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.

Local guide
About Capel Street
Capel Street is undergoing a cultural resurgence – one Irish newspaper has described it as possibly Dublin’s best street. Despite its central location, Capel Street has remained quite free of chains and high street shops. Instead it has a thriving array of local businesses, from cafes to clothes shops to delis. You’ll find food from all over the world and a whole load of very niche shops. Wedged in between...

Try the fantastic Mr Fox
Set within a gorgeous Georgian townhouse on Parnell Square, the plates celebrate Irish ingredients with a cheeky twist – think venison and black pudding, or pheasant with lentils and Toulouse sausage.
Discover the collection at The hugh Lane
This neo-classical townhouse designed in 1765 by William Chambers for the first Earl of Charlemont now houses a superb collection of modern and contemporary international art.
Pick up a latte from Clement & Pekoe Stores
This independent business has locations both north and south side and serves up a mean tea and coffee.
Create your own salad at Sprout & Co
This hip salad bar (with very limited seating) aims to give a shot in the arm to Irish vegetable growers, serving as many Irish greens, purples, reds and yellows as they can find. It's healthy and delicious!
Admire the design of the Samuel Beckett Bridge
Designed by Santiago Calatrava, this moving bridge is the maritime gateway for Dublin, rotating horizontally through 90 degrees, crossing the river at right angles and with a span of 123 metres.
Have pint at The Ferryman
Built in the 1780s, this listed Georgian building is full of character and has been restored to its original splendour. A traditional boozer with Old-World charm, it's an ideal spot for a pint.
Get your caffeine fix at Legit Coffee Co.
There's no better place to meet a friend for a catch up or just to nurse a coffee and read a good book alone.
Catch a play at the bord gáis energy theatre
Ireland's largest fixed-seat theatre was designed by Daniel Libeskind. It presents a diverse programme of world-class entertainment and an unparalleled theatrical experience.
Attend a conference at The Convention Centre
Ireland's new world class purpose-built international conference and event venue located in Spencer Dock, it was designed by the Irish-born American architect Kevin Roche.
Indulge with a pastry from Il Valentino
Excellent Italian coffee, pastries, and bread with a lovely view of Grand Canal Dock from the outdoor seating area. You might see the swans, if you're lucky.
Dine at MV Cill Airne
Renovated training vessel with a modern European restaurant and maritime-style bar. Enjoy great food and reasonably priced drinks while taking in the stunning view of the ocean and the River Liffey. Friendly staff and a perfect spot for a sunny day.
Dine with a view at Charlotte Quay
A chilled dinner & drinks spot off the beaten track but with some stunning dock views, they use only the best Irish produce to create a fresh, exciting dining experience with a Mediterranean feel.
