We spent two nights in Daragh's apartment. Daragh is a very nice host, very helpful and friendly. The room is equipped with everything that you would need including very nicely written Dublin guide books and a good collection of DVD. The apartment itself is a very calm and good place to be, very close to the city centre in one of the nicest area of Dublin.
The only problem was the temperature of the apartment and the room. Since the weather is nasty and windy this time of year, the whole place was cold. I bet that the radiator in the room needs to be on all the time, unless the guests are stoics and "cold never bothered them anyway".
