Maria was a great host--very friendly and responsive. The apartment might be a little tricky to find at first because there are a lot of narrow alleys in Dublin but once you find it (near Etsy), you'll see it's located very conveniently--just a 10 minute walk from O'Connell Street (city center bus from airport stops there) and just a few minutes walking distance from Temple Bar (a lively block of restaurants, pubs, live music, and shopping). There are also a few great restaurants just down the street from Maria's place. The apartment itself was clean and cozy. My room was fresh and comfortable and there was even a nightstand drawer stocked with essential toiletries and converters which was a thoughtful touch. I barely saw Maria or the other guest/s during my stay as we were all out and about at different times, but everyone was considerate of the shared spaces and friendly when we did interact. Maria is a hospitable and accommodating host and again, you can't beat the location. I would recommend staying here.
