The Post House

The positive is it's an excellent location and the apartment was OK, however, our apartment was quite dingy. Could do with a good deep clean. Needs a bit spending to bring it up to scratch, new cutlery, cups, glasses and a corkscrew/bottle opener. A good clean on the outside also, the outside is covered in bird muck and feathers. Would have prefered a King size bed.

First off, we rented Apartment Nr. 3 for two nights; it was clean, all necessary supplies (towels, etc.) were provided, and the beds were comfortable. That being said, the cold water in the bathroom sink barely flowed due to a kink in the supply hose. After downloading the instructions for the washer/dryer, and after 15 attempts, could still not get the machine to function. As one other reviewer mentioned (and I missed this), you cannot receive any regular television programs; only subscription services such as Netflix. I turned on the electric kettle, but the water never boiled; it only got warm. A number of the light bulbs were burned out. In Varun's (the manager) defense, he was responsive and promised to get the cold water fixed in the bathroom. However, I would suggest that the appliances should be checked to make sure they function properly and the lights checked more frequently for burned out lightbulbs. As for the washer/dryer, I would suggest that they provide a laminated step-by-step operation guide, since it is not an obvious user interface. Also, as with many properties in Ireland that don't have air conditioning, you have to keep the windows open at night to stay cool; we were kept up by people talking on the street since we had a street-facing apartment, so noise-cancelling earbuds would be recommended if you face the street. The location was excellent, close to the center of the town. I think with a few tweaks, flat #3 would be top class.
