John is a great host. He was very communicative and accommodating to our arrival schedule. He gave great advice during check-in and even provided us with a few tasty treats and drinks to kick off a fantastic weekend.
John's house is in the Temple Bar area and less than 5 mins walking distance to the main entrance to Trinity College. There is a great hip tavern directly below the residence (it may get a little loud on the weekend, but why else are you in downtown Dublin!?!?). You are within walking distance to most tourist areas, points of interest. We walked to everything, including the Jameson Distillery and and the Guiness Experience (these are about 30 min walks, or 15 min by bus). We even walked an easy 25 min to Croke Park to see U2 for the 2017 Joshua Tree tour....be careful, there are plenty of restaurants & pubs along the way that might distract you!
John's apartment is easy to find and very clean. There are plenty of amenities for entertainment (TV, cable, Netflix, DVDs) and all you need for cooking just about any meal. The beds are comfortable and there are plenty of towels and clean linen.
Overall, we had a great time and it had a lot to do with John's place.
Thank you John!
