Michael and Gillian are terrific hosts, probably the best we have ever encountered!
Prior to our arrival in Dublin, we asked if we could drop off our luggage early (because we had to disembark the Windstar Ship at 8 am). Michael was very accommodating and met us at the house. My daughter & I met Michael, and when he heard that my wife & son were still at the port of Dun Laoghaire, due to a lack of taxis, he volunteered to get them. Fortunately, a taxi was found at the port, but we greatly appreciated Michael's gesture to help.
Michael had coffee, tea, milk, butter, jam and sweet cakes waiting for us. It was a lovely welcoming gift! Additionally, the bathrooms had organic body wash, shampoo & conditioners available, which was appreciated after having used up our personal products earlier in the trip.
The house is lovely, full of natural light in all rooms, and includes a private outdoor patio as its centerpiece. It has great appliances and is very neat and clean. It is located in a quiet, residential neighborhood that is still close to city center -- and a block away from I Monelli, a very good local restaurant.
Without Michael's suggestion, we never would have known about Malahide Castle & Gardens & Village, located 30 minutes outside Dublin. It was incredibly beautiful, and we thank him for encouraging us to to go there.
We highly recommend this AirBnB and would definitely stay there again. Not only is it a great value, but Michael & Gillian made it feel like they are welcoming you into their home.
