Liam seems like a nice guy. Unfortunately, his place was not up to the standards of cleanliness and utility I have come to expect from an AirBnb apartment. The carpets were truly awful--full of stains, though he said they were freshly cleaned. The whole place was just not professionally cleaned, and bordering on "below basic" in terms of amenities and overall comfort. I believe he is new to the whole AirBnb thing and he mentioned that he was planning some renovations. I think those renovations are necessary as soon as possible to offer guests a comfortable stay. It is a good 30 minute brisk walk into the center of Dublin, and the neighborhood is kind of dodgey, if you are planning on walking around the area at night. There are buses on the main street to get into town quicker.
