In advance of staying in Kasia's place we were maybe just a little nervous as to what its description as "quirky" might mean. But Stoneybatter is a lovely area with easy access to the city centre, and we weren't staying long, so we decided to take a chance. In the end we were delighted that we'd had a go, because the cottage itself genuinely added to the enjoyment we had on our brief trip to Dublin
It's a tiny house that Kasia seems very busy turning (in a sensible, clever and highly inventive way) into a snug and really individual home. It's still a work in progress, but everything you’ll need is there, everything works and everything is comfortable and even downright cosy, and we (having both done and seen similar conversions over the years) were impressed by the way Kasia's going about things. I'm only sorry I won't see the finished project!
This was our third experience with airbnb and - just as on previous occasions - the place we stayed, and what it seemed to say about its owners, turned out to be as interesting a part of the trip as any of the things that we'd actually planned to do in Dublin. So thanks to Kasia for letting us see what I'm sure will soon wind up as a terrific home for her, and has already been a very pleasant place for us. It is indeed "quirky", but prospective guests shouldn't worry - it's a grand sort of quirkiness!
