Aidan was a warm and personable host who immediately made us feel super welcome. He was extremely responsive in terms of communication before we arrived and once we got there, he took the time to chat about Dublin and point out areas of interest (museums, monuments, parks, neighbourhoods, etc.) on a map.
The location is great; it's in a quiet neighbourhood, but it only takes 15-20 minutes - on foot - before you hit central Dublin. And for anyone who loves an amazing, affordable breakfast (i.e. everyone?), there's a great place called Cloud Cafe on your walk towards the city centre. It's literally 3 minutes away from the flat and their Green Eggs are the best way to start the day. :)
We felt at home here and really appreciated the relaxed, laid back vibe - not to mention the abundance of coffee and the great wifi. The only thing I'd note is that the main living areas do smell a bit like cigarette smoke. I didn't find that to be a particular issue (the bedroom doesn't smell of smoke at all), but my friend was sensitive to it, so that might be a "good to know" for others who feel the same. For everyone else - I would definitely recommend staying here!
