You should know that Cork Street is not a welcoming place after dark.

Cork Street isnt that big; even the town end wouldnt be far from areas that I wouldnt be keen about tbh.

That said, I have a friend who until recently lived in the apartments across the road from those ones and had no problems at all.

As in once it got dark I wouldn't walk down it. Its one of the few areas in Dublin City that (imo) has remained properly sketchy despite all the regeneration in the city. I do have friends who lived there without difficulty but I also know others who have been either mugged or had close escapes on Cork Street and I would never consider living there.

My girlfriend used to live there. Apartment was nice, but loads of scumbags around, sometimes hanging around the gate trying to get in when you coming/going.
