Dardo was great, had great recommendations on where to eat and drink, and very responsive to any questions. The apartment is exactly as depicted, and in a very central location to explore Dublin. It can get noisy, as the street outside is busy with both car and foot traffic, but not so loud it affected our sleep (Dardo even provides a pack of ear plugs in the bedside cabinets). All the comforts of home - kitchen was fully-stocked if you were to decide to cook, but there are dozens of great restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk. Couldn't have been happier!
