The central heating is controlled via a Smart thermostat usually located on the television unit. To turn this on, simply rotate the copper dial clockwise until this passes the current, ambient temperature. Please bear in mind it may take a little time for the apartment to warm up and ensure all windows and patio doors are firmly closed when this is on.
If you find the heating hasn’t fired up, you can find the main boiler in a cupboard to the right of the kitchen. Ensure this is switched on and not showing any errors. If none of the above is working, simply contact the team in the office and one of our Maintenance team can promptly attend.

Too toasty?! On the rare occasion that the city does see a spectacular summer’s day, we do also have a small number of fans available. Contact the office to request one but, please note, this is subject to availability.

All properties have a hairdryer to hand and we provide one set of towels per guest to save you some room in your suitcase!
As we’re self-serviced accommodation and not a hotel, daily housekeeping is not provided. However, if you are staying with us for more than seven days, someone will attend to turnover the house and restock your linen. This is will be pre-arranged with the team in the office.
A small number of toilet rolls and miniature toiletries are left to get you started on your first night. The Tesco Express located just a short walk along the Dublin Road (away from the city) would be your closest location to stock up on supplies.

The Smart TV is equipped with a number of streaming apps such as Netflix, Disney and BBC iPlayer. Use your own account details to sign into these and we would just gently remind you to sign out before departing!
*If you forget, don’t worry - just contact the team in the office and we’ll have a member of staff head down and log you out.

You will find the washing machine, tumble dryer, iron and ironing board in the hallway storage room. A small number of laundry capsules can be found below the kitchen sink.

All bedrooms have space to store away your belongings and there’s a large utility room in which you can store away your luggage and keep this out of sight!
neat and tidy
The spacious, private kitchen is always a hit with our guests. Here you’ll have everything you need to whip up a tasty, home-cooked meal or a warm breakfast on a cold winter’s day.
As we’re self-serviced accommodation, we provide utensils, cookware and crockery, but the cupboards and the fridge are left bare for you to stock with what you need. Pull up a dining chair and relax over your morning coffee before setting off for a full day of sights or shopping.
Ensure the cooker is switched on at the wall - the red fuse light will illuminate. Adjust knobs for temperature and function to use the oven accordingly.
Before you leave the house on the morning of your departure, we simply ask that you pop your crockery in the dishwasher and clean any pots and pans you might have used.

Although it can sometimes feel like it, we aren’t a hotel so some of our processes will be different. As daily Housekeeping isn’t a feature of self-serviced accommodation, it may be the case that you start to accumulate more rubbish than fits in your personal, indoor bins.
If that’s the case, we would kindly ask that you remove this to the communal bins to prevent any spillages or odours in-house. Small to medium bags can be dropped into the rubbish chutes located near the lift lobby on each level - watch this video to see how to find these. Any larger bags can be taken to the main bin area downstairs.
Replacement bin-bags will be under the sink in the kitchen and we thank you for your kind co-operation.
