Host was great; John was very accommodating during check in, personally laid out a map of Dublin to give us suggestions, and dropped off coffee and milk for us to drink in the morning. He was extremely responsive and quick to answer before and during our stay.
The room itself is as advertised. It’s a studio flat in a house, fully self contained and you’ll have a key to the front entrance as well as your room. Two beds and can sleep 3, although with myself and two brothers all above 6 feet tall staying here there wasn’t a lot of extra room. There’s a small kitchen area and hot water pot so you can make coffee/tea as well as cereal and milk in the morning, which the host provides. Room and bathroom are clean and have everything you need.
Location wise you’ll be within a short bus ride of the central city/temple bar area where you’ll probably be spending most of your time. Bus system is super easy to figure out so definitely not a problem. The neighborhood is far enough outside the city center that they’re are not tourists wandering past being loud, which I consider a plus.
To sum it up this is exactly what is advertised: a simple, clean place for a solo traveler or 2-3 people to use as a launchpad to explore Dublin. If you’re like me that’s what you want in an Air BnB because you’ll be gone as much as possible exploring the city. Price is right for what you get and host was one of the most accommodating I’ve met so far in my time staying at Air BnBs.
