Michael was a great host. Other than providing us with a great list of suggestions (ranging from restaurants to tourist attractions) a few days before we arrived, we got terribly lost in finding the apartment (not because the apartment is difficult to find - we just had bad luck with network connectivity on google maps) but Michael provided detailed directions and was really patient with us. Needless to say this was much appreciated. Michael was attending to another check in by the time we reached the apartment but sent his mother to meet us for check in who was really friendly and gave great suggestions for pubs and restaurants. This was the first time that we made use of Airbnb but based on our experience we will definitely use Airbnb for our next trip. I have no hesitation is recommending this apartment to anyone who is planning a trip to Dublin. :)
