We are frequent renters and this was maybe our best ever Airbnb experience. The apartment was clean, spacious, stylish, and comfortable. Nicola anticipated our every need, from describing local shops and businesses accurately to explaining how to reset the Wi-Fi in the event that it stopped working. We would come back to Dublin just to stay in this apartment!
The bedroom layout worked amazingly well for our family of four, and the custom built bunkbeds were large enough that you could probably fit more than two kids in them.
The location could not be better. Near Temple Bar, but not too near if you know what I mean. I really think the street is one of the most charming in town. It's Dublin so the streets were noisy at night--every night--but in the bedroom you could barely hear a thing thanks to its location in the back of the apartment and the doors separating it from the living area.
The fireplace and tv were very popular with the kids. Don't be daunted by the stairs. There are two flights that we made quick work of (it was nothing compared to our years in a fifth-floor Manhattan walk-up).
