Read this review! I had the option to book either this property or one with a separate washer and dryer. I debated for days and finally settled on this property because Michael said his machine does both and we also liked his balcony.
After traveling for 10 days in Spain we had a full load to wash upon arrival in Dublin. Unfortunately his washing machine left our clothes drenched and Michael was not very helpful. Eventually it was said that the machine leaves your clothes almost dry and that you can hang them the rest of the way. Well it did not leave our clothes almost dry, it left our clothes very wet. More wet than they are after removing them from our washing machine at home before we place them in the dryer.
As for everything else in the apartment it was as listed and it was great. This was definitely a safe and child friendly property. Even the balcony was safe for our 15 month old to play outside for herself. And the view of the old church was stunning. I loved seeing the various layers of brick from over the years of repairs and the flowers growing out of the stone. And of course the church bells were beautiful.
The location was also amazing. With a 15 month old we only took a taxi 2x in a week and on those days it was because we were in a hurry and didn’t know our way. Everything was an enjoyable 10-20 minute walk away and we hit all of the popular sights. Phoenix Park and the Zoo were the furthest but still a nice walk! We never used a bus for anything which we thought we would.
I would book this location again because it’s the bird I know and the location was great & it was perfectly safe for the baby. The beds were comfortable and on day two John brought over much better pillows when I asked for them. We also moved the 2 double beds together in the bigger bedroom and we all slept together there and it was wonderful. Also being on top of a full market was absolutely perfect! We got everything from diapers to booze there and they’re open from 7a-11pm I believe so it was great!
Personally I like dealing with John & my baby girl loves him and his strong Dublin accent! We never met Michael. We would stay again.
