READ BEFORE BOOKING - would not recommend!
This review is not regarding the host as a person, but rather the Airbnb itself. My husband and I booked this apartment for a short stay in Dublin and were unpleasantly surprised upon arrival. The area that this apartment is located in is not advertised on the hosts listing. Upon arrival, there were a few individuals who appeared homeless who were heckling us when we entered the gate. We arrived at the apartment to find that there were adults using drugs in the alleyway below our window. From the advertising and after reading the reviews on this listing, we did not expect to find these conditions. We were so uncomfortable and felt unsafe, that we felt forced to leave and book a nearby hotel. We did not stay for more than 20 minutes. Similar to some of the other reviewers, the host offered us an alternative entrance into the unit, after we had already let them know we felt unsafe and would not be staying. The host denied a refund. On a positive note, the interior of the apartment was as advertised- there were no issues.
