I live about 30 mins from Dublin airport, in the north west of the city, you are welcome to borrow this Phil and Ted’s portable high chair for your trip. It might be extra hassle to collect it from us though so no prob if not!
Our 10 month old baby girl sits in this guy every morning when we get ready for work, at dinner time, when we're prepping dinner. It's great - and will travel with us to restaurants and friends' houses.
Phil & Ted's Lobster
We did the same thing for the first 18 months of our son's life - we were in a small 1 bedroom apartment. We didn't have a ton of space either but I agree with another commenter here that it really helped to have more than one place for baby to sleep. Our kid HATED the bassinet we got him. Hated. Would not sleep in it. We ended up getting a pack n play and a boppy lounger. For the first few weeks he would only sleep in the boppy lounger, which was fine because it was tiny. Once he switched to the pack n play that was fine too, because we could move it to whichever room we didn't want to be in at the time. So, if we wanted to go to bed early we'd put kid in the living room to go to sleep. Or, if we wanted to stay up and cook a late dinner or watch a movie, we'd put kiddo down in the bedroom. The pack n play fit through our doorway so we could just move him into the bedroom with us when we went to sleep. And, if we had people over and needed the space we could move it to the bedroom or fold it up.
He didn't really do much for the first 6 weeks, I don't think we used a play mat or anything during that time. I think we got the play mat out at right around 6 weeks, but it was pretty easy to roll up and stick in a corner when we weren't using it. I liked having it because he was starting to be so interested in things around him and it felt like the right kind of stimulation. I'd get one and just find one you can roll up easily enough and stick in a closet until baby is ready. We did have a changing pad on top of our dresser. I preferred having something like that vs just a towel in part because it had straps that we could use to secure it to the dresser, it was water proof (easier to clean) and it allowed us to stand up while changing and not be hunched over somewhere (your back WILL start hurting if you change on the floor all the time).
​
We ended up getting a swing at around 6 weeks which I swear took up like a quarter of our entire apartment but it was worth it. I didn't realize what we were missing until we had it. Naps became so much easier. It was worth the real estate. But, you could probably wait for the 2 bedroom to get it.
​
Because we didn't move for 18 months, the main room of our apartment became the kids room. We eventually got this https://www.amazon.com/Sauder-Bookcase-Footboard-White-Finish/dp/B00B2QU5YW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1539832293&sr=8-3&keywords=bookshelf+toy+storage&dpID=41cpmiMr5CL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch which we stuck our tv on top of in the living room (with tv straps to secure it). It worked really really well for storing toys + books in a way that little one could access them himself. We also eventually got a dresser/changing table combo. When he got old enough we just took the changing table part off and now it's his dresser.
​
Apartment living with a little one is totally doable :) Good luck!
​
Edit to add this: we got this chair instead of a high chair https://www.amazon.com/phil-teds-Lobster-Highchair-Black/dp/B004854WM0 - also a great call. took up 0 space and we could take it to restaurants with us too

We have the Phil&Teds Lobster Chair version too but only use it when we go out to eat. It's so nice having my son sit next to us in the booth rather than out in the isle where customers and servers walk. I do NOT want a heavy tray of food being whisked around above my kids head.
I used this:

I really liked it. Its collapsible and comes with a bag to put it in.
