From the day we booked our stay with Robbie, he started correspondence with us, which was very nice. Leading up to our arrival, he sent an email containing all kinds of good advice and info, including which bus to take to his place, when it would show up, and how to book it. Upon our arrival, he greeted us with tea/juice/all sorts of drinks, and showed us our room. The room is beautiful. Spacious, large windows, carpet, etc. Absolutely perfect. The bed was also very comfortable. All in all, the room exceeded all expectations. Now, to talk about Robbie. This man is a genius, a real wealth of knowledge. We had several enriching, yet very funny, conversations with him during our stay. He has things to do during the day, so if you like to be left alone, then perfect. He's also around seemingly just when you need him to offer recommendations on local food or sightseeing or to tell you a story or a joke. He's truly a gem. Next time we find ourselves in Dublin, we will be staying with Robbie again.
