We were treated as friends. Our host was a most thoughtful communicator who provided clear directions and helped us access transportation. He is very knowledgeable and provides tips on where to go and how to best enjoy his wonderful city. The kitchen is open and Daragh invites guests to help themselves to breakfast. The room, situated on its own floor, is clean and welcoming. It is a pretty spot filled with books and simple, tasteful furnishings. The bathroom, too, is impeccable. Another plus, the neighborhood feels very safe, and it is ideal for exploring the City. The #16 bus goes everywhere, including the airport. The only downside is late night noise, perhaps from as far away (25 minute walk) as the pubs and bars in the Temple Bar. I am not sure that this the source, but since this is where the night time action is.... In any case, the music wasn't a problem the first night, but the might keep light sleepers awake. A final word... the exterior does not reflect the interior. Your initial impression will not the one you remember. This was one of our best urban airbnb experiences. A very nice place and an exceptional value. Janis
