It's hard to put into words exactly what makes a hostess great, but Catherine is it. She responds very quickly and helpfully. She provides more than most ABnB hosts in terms of foodstuffs, toiletries, etc. The apartment is sparkling clean and SO lovely and comfortable. It is in fact so pleasant and peaceful inside that you may want to skip the sightseeing, etc, so you can sit in front of a cozy fire or out in the sunny courtyard instead. The apartment is also perfectly located though the construction outside may intrude from time to time. I don't have plans to return to Dublin anytime soon, but I may invent some so I can return to this terrific and elegant cottage.
