I would DEFINETELY recommend John's place to anyone who's in Dublin and need a place for either holidays an business reasons. .
The building is a few steps away from the bus stop that serves direct buses to the city centre (it takes about 20 minutes without traffic) and to the Airport. Pubs, restaurants and a Tesco Metro are 5-10 minutes walking from it, a big Lidl is about 15 minutes walking.
We (my partner and I) stayed in the apartment for a week, while looking for a permanent place to rent in Dublin. I was working, then I spent in the place a much longer time than I'd have spent on holidays...and it was very good, comfortable and it had any facilities that we needed.
John is the perfect landlord that everyone would like to have: he looks after his guests a lot, he's so welcoming and flexible to make the experience as much pleasant as possible.
I would definitely rent this property again if we need a place to stay.
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING JOHN, all the best ;)
