Michael was an excellent host. Very responsive - answered every random question within minutes and even fixed a broken dishwasher in record time for us. And (thankfully) very flexible. And helpful with restaurant and cafe suggestions, event suggestions for other parts of the country, and even offered to help us with transportation when things were getting crazy at the end of our trip. The location is superb. I had a nice run every morning either by the canal or up to St. Stephen's Green and then stopped in for a coffee at several different locations on a slow stroll back to the house. Lots of grocery stores within walking distance as well as many, many restaurants. Thanks Michael for everything!
