Charles Street West

At Charles Street West, you’re a 15-minute walk from Trinity College Dublin and the Dublin Institute of Technology. In the mornings, wake up with a hot shower in one of the house’s multiple bathrooms, then join your friends in the kitchen for breakfast. Catch up on their news around the dining table, or use the free Wi-Fi to submit a last minute assignment whilst you eat. If you don’t feel like cooking, grab a gourmet sandwich and a Vietnamese iced coffee to go from nearby café Oxmantown.

You’re also a two-minute walk from the nearest bus stop, making exploring on weekends easy. In less than 20 minutes, you could be meeting endangered tigers and gorillas at Dublin Zoo, or learning about Ireland’s political past at Kilmainham Gaol. When you get home, step into the social atmosphere of your lively five-bedroom apartment. Raid the fridge for something to eat, then switch on the kettle and swap stories with your housemates on the living room couch or in your shared bedroom.

With a washing machine on-site, staying on top of your laundry is easy - while an iron and ironing board keeps the contents of your wardrobe looking fresh. Spend the rest of the afternoon working on a paper, streaming your favourite series or soaking up the sunshine in the spacious backyard. On Saturdays, shop for fresh produce and gourmet global foods at Temple Bar Food Market, or head out for dinner instead. For pulled pork and locally-brewed craft beers, try Deep South restaurant Bison Bar & BBQ.
