Staying with Liana was an incredible experience that went beyond just a bed to sleep on. She was super friendly and responsive to messages ever since booking the stay, and made sure to give us all the information we needed about the city. The apartment was clean and organized, and not right in the middle of the city (so you can avoid all the loudness and crazy tourists); downtown can be reached on food, by bus or cab (it was not an expensive fare at all).
Also, be prepared to be tortured by her yoga class - which was a great touch and nice of her to offer. Definitely good exercise to unwind from the flight and start you time in Dublin well.
