Dardo was one of the best hosts I've worked with on AirBNB, and we've seen several good ones. Stayed in constant contact with us while we were making our way to Dublin, met us at our transport, and walked us into the flat. Even accommodated our earlier-than-expected arrival. Gave us the guided tour, some local insight, and left us to our devices for the week.

The flat was immaculate, cool and efficient. The location is unbeatable at any price. And if you have time to read a book, Dardo has excellent taste in literature, and his flat has some very well-stocked shelves. Kitchen and laundry facilities were much appreciated, including the best coffee maker I've ever seen in a rental unit.

As other reviewers have mentioned, due to the awesome location, the noise is an issue. With the pubs closing at 1:00 AM, drunken revelers loudly stumbling by into the wee hours, even midweek, made for not much uninterrupted sleep. (For the first few days this was compounded by 20,000-some Penn State football fans out carousing.) Unsure when I might be able to get back to Ireland, but if I'm headed to Dublin I won't hesitate to look for this flat again.
