Daniel’s place met all of our needs. They were:
1) A central location close to public transport
Very close to Trinity college. Tara St station is 2 minutes away, <10 minute walk to Connolly Station, 5 minutes to Trinity LUAS stop.

2) A kitchen so we didn’t have to eat all meals out
The kitchen is well stocked with cookware and utensils.
3) A good washer and dryer so we didn’t have to lug around too much luggage.
The apartment had a combo washer and dryer that was new looking and worked well. These are not common in Australia but fairly common it seems in Ireland and UK - they do take a while to get the washing dry.
4) Good wifi; data roaming from an Australian provider costs a fortune.
Check.
The extremely comfy queen sized bed was a bonus!
Daniel was a great host and very easy to communicate with. I’d stay in his apartment again.
