This was my first Airbnb experience, and it worked out beautifully! Rented the apartment for a sort of 'reunion' and Rachel made us feel so welcome, leaving clear information and instructions for the apartment, as well as a few goodies to help us settle in! The photos don't do the apartment justice. Knowing Dublin well, the idea of a 'large' apartment usually means that two people can pass in the corridor between the two bedrooms that just about fit double beds in. This apartment is probably more accurately described as 'enormous'! Everyone loved the showers and the beds were comfortable. Breakfast on the balcony was a treat.

Location from the city centre - walking into the city will take no more than 20-25 mins (although as I apparently walk quite quickly, I managed to get to Trinity in 15 minutes!). There is a bus stop right outside, an Aircoach stop 5-10 mins up the road, and Lansdowne Rd DART station about 5-10 mins walk away. Herbert Park is about 5 minutes away to the east, and the other side of Ballsbridge (Baggott St) is 5 mins to the west.

Rachel was very relaxed, accommodating and easy to deal with, handling my many and varied requests very generously. She was also good enough to bring our check-in time forward on the day, and provided me with a parking space too.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Rachel and this apartment to anyone else, be they groups, or families. As a group of 30-something ladies, we found it perfect!
