David did a great job of giving us all the information we needed ahead of time (although I somehow overlooked some of it and had to ask him-my fault for not reading the emails a little closer). He was not present when we checked in but his mother, Sarah, stepped in and was most gracious. She made us feel right at home and fixed us a cup of Irish tea - just the thing needed to refresh us after our flight, bus ride and walk to her home. While drinking our tea, she gave us a lot of local information to help us get oriented. Wonderful lady.
A bonus for us was Millie, their cocker spaniel. A very lively, loving and sweet dog. We enjoyed playing with her.
The location is not too far from the City Centre - you can take the bus that stops right in front of the house or there is a train that stops a short distance away.
One thing I might mention, if you take the bus into town from the airport, don't try walking from where it lets you off unless you have some energy to spare and are wearing comfortable shoes. We walked about 25 to 30 minutes from where the bus let us off to David's house, although in fairness, David said the bus driver may have let us off a stop too far.
I found Uber to be much more expensive in Dublin, probably because it is Uber Taxi and not private cars. The taxi companies must be powerful and are keeping Uber from running their regular operation but still, you can use your Uber app to get a ride if you need one.
We used both of David's rooms. One had two twin beds and the other had one double (probably a queen size). Very comfortable. There is a bathroom across the hall that is specifically for use by the AirBnB guests. David's family also lives in the house but they have their own areas.
There is a lovely backyard and a living room downstairs to relax in. WiFi is available.
We also recommend walking down the street to the local business area. Several nice bars and restaurants, among them is Cinnamon (which David manages). We enjoyed a very good meal there and the service was terrific.
Although we only stayed two nights in Dublin, we had a fantastic time and cannot wait to return for a longer stay. We would love to stay with David and his family once again.
