John is a friendly, reliable and amenable host and his property is just lovely. Flat 8 where I stayed was the perfect size with a little kitchenette, decent sized bathroom, big bed and plenty of storage. I ended up extending my stay fairly last minute and John was so helpful and understanding! The location is brilliant- I'm familiar with Rathmines already but for newcomers it makes a great respite from the city centre. The little touches such as the welcome treats in jars on the table and stocked fridge, plus Gina the cleaner with her friendly chat and John's bright 'halloes' each day made this one of the best experiences I've ever had with Airbnb. Would recommend to everyone!
