Patrick is a superb host, very helpful and as flexible as he can be on check in and check out (he invited us to store our bags at the apartment hours before we could actually check in - this saved us from paying for baggage storage as we had arrived in Dublin fairly early). The apartment is very clean, with a shower room and a proper kitchen (including a coffee press). There was a problem with the hot water, which Patrick quickly solved, by the same day. The area is surprisingly close to the centre - most days we just walked in (15 mins). The area and the apartment are very good value but if you are looking for something swanky, it's probably not for you. It was great for us.
