David's place was spotless! It's an easy 10 min walk to grocery stores, restaurants, public transportation into the city centre and even the local community centre with an indoor swimming pool.
We were 2 couples travelling from Canada. We were given a "heads-up" that the Internet was not working a few days before our scheduled arrival and sure enough we had no internet access from the Thurs to Sat till a technician arrived and successfully repaired it for the duration of our 5 night stay. There is a Starbucks 10 min walk away but sadly in 2019, no internet access is a big deal and we did go through a lot of roaming fees on our phones! Hopefully this was a "one off" and it did work beautifully after the Sat.
This house is as the pictures show and yes stairs are involved. The larger bathroom is on the main floor and the smaller bathroom is upstairs, not as an ensuite, but next door to the small bedroom. Our sleeps were great, comfy beds, quiet neighborhood and reasonable blackout. A note to all Airbnb hosts....please give us travellers a luggage rack or at least a spot to put our luggage! It is most helpful.
We never met with David and we did miss a welcoming booklet to give us info on local eateries, how to call a cab, cost of a bus etc and with the Internet down this was a bit problematic...however we muddled our way through and really enjoyed our time in Dublin. I feel David's place is of good value and was in a great location!
