This was my best Airbnb experience across several countries. The house is lovely, airy, with a sweet, grassy backyard and loads of natural light. Very conveniently located within short walking distances (bus and DART), it has cafes, pubs, supermarkets very close by. The neighbourhood is incredibly cute, I must add, and we fell in love with it. Everything in the house is just as advertised, super clean and efficient.
But what was more important to me, as a nervous student in a new country, were the hosts, who honestly felt more like family than strangers. This never felt like a transaction. It was like living temporarily with a friend's parents. From helping me finding a house in Dublin (which is a nightmare) to helping me get around, to making me feel welcome all the time and even feeding me delicious dinners -- this family was the biggest boon I could have asked for at an uncertain time. And I will always remember this. A huge, huge thank you to everyone in this house for helping me land on my feet and being so warm towards me and my husband.
