I would not recommend staying at this host at all. We planned a five days long visit in Dublin and booked an Airbnb in July for our stay in October. The host seemed nice and the place looked good. When we arrived at about five in Dublin we wrote to him, but there was no answer. We tried to call him several times because we did already had plans for the evening due to the short holiday. The host did not answer the phone, it went straight to voicemail. We went to his place and rang the bell, but there was no answer. At that time it was already around six. We asked some of the neighbors whether they know him or his number, but nobody heard of him at all. It was rainy and cold, we had our luggage and plans for the evening. We started to become a bit desperate because we had no clue where we would go. We contacted Airbnb support service who tried to help us, but could not reach the host either. We had to stay at a nearby diner and wait for the response. At half-past eight we were already really tired and helpless. Airbnb suggested us to look for other places in case they do not reach the host, which they could not until that time. It was really uncomfortable to contact several hosts and check out new apartments just because our perfectly planned stay did not work out. We had a couple of hard hours until we finally found a really nice host, Alan (DUBLIN 6 Rathgar( 3Kms to downtown)). He was so flexible that he waited for all the conversation and problems we had to clear with Airbnb and welcomed us with open arms. Gerry's reaction was (at 23:00) that I quote "I was traveling and my phone went dead.". I am sure that this way of apologizing and treating your guests is not okay. We had a really bad evening because all of this and were disappointed in the service of Airbnb as well. I must say that Gerry is not the host I would recommend for any of you in the future.
