Let me start with all the positive things:
- Thiago’s place is in an amazing spot. Right next to some of the best sites and sounds Temple Bar has to offer
- The area felt safe, especially for first time travelers to Dublin
- Easily walkable to the other large attractions within the city (including transportation)
- Thiago was extremely responsive an eager to help when needed
- Room was clean and apartment was easy to navigate
Relevant to the area, the price we paid was extremely reasonable. The only thing I would suggest keeping in mind is that it is an extremely popular area for pubs/restaurants, so there may be some nose during the latter parts of the night. As mentioned the location is in a really great spot right on top of Temple Bar. If you’re a light sleeper you may find some difficulties.
Overall great experience with Thiago and his place! Cheers!
