Paul's place was a gem. Perfectly located for exploring the heart of Dublin (and with a carpark spot to boot, excellent if you also want to go further afield on day trips/etc. - although we did not use this benefit). The flat was immaculate, and newly-renovated - everything was sparkling clean and functional. It is perfectly comfortable for a couple or even 2 friends travelling together (the sofa bed is easy to use and very comfortable, as is the regular bed)., or a small family.
From the moment of booking, until after arrival, Paul was easily reachable and highly responsive. Even when I reached out to him with a question I should have known the answer to already (where are the sofa pillows/comforter - inside the sofa storage box). I really appreciated how simple he made it to check in and show us the place.
Many people remarked on the noise factor outside the building. Our first night (a Friday), we did hear some sounds/noise coming from partymakers in nearby Temple Bar/clubs/etc., but it was muffled by the excellent double windows Paul installed. Additionally, if you live in a large city already, you won't be phased by any of this. To me, the occasional city noise/sounds were a more than reasonable tradeoff for the "could not be more central" location.
We were delighted to have chosen Paul's flat and appreciate all he did to make it such a pleasure for us to stay there!
