Location is fantastic. It's walkable to numerous restaurants and shops. Host communication was okay- he was using an off platform automated messaging service- which was a day off. There was a mechanical issue with the front door lock, but the host (being out of town) required me to send a video before he would address the concern. Which I did send, and after a couple days it was fixed. The apartment was clean and well furnished. Getting and returning the key (lockbox about a 1/4 mile away) was a bit of a hassle with luggage and busy streets to navigate- also finding the garbage bin in the car park was equally challenging- but I certainly didn't want to have a 50 Euro charge (host states he would charge) for not taking out the garbage after my stay. The apartment faces an inner courtyard- which actually drowned out the city noise- even the construction noise... But the bigger issue was the VERY LOUD seagulls- squawking/screeching ALL night and ALL day- for that reason alone I did not find the description as "quiet" to be accurate. I had numerous nights of limited sleep because of it. I notified the host, but he stated this was a "rather common around Dublin", however I have stayed at three other listings and never heard a peep from a seagull.
