I really enjoyed my stay at Dwaine's apartment and highly recommend it! Dwaine is really great. He responded quickly, he let me leave my backpack there when I arrived early so I could explore the city without the extra weight, and he allowed me to do the same the day I left. The apartment looks like the photos, and what you read in the reviews is true. The heated bed is really comfortable, there is a space heater upstairs and downstairs, there is an HDMI cable to use with your laptop, there is plenty of hot water, the neighborhood is quiet, and I slept better there than I sleep in my own apartment! As for the location, is does depend on where you are going. There is a grocery store less than five minutes away, as well as a few restaurants. There are a ton of restaurants about 15 minutes from the apartment, and if you cross the bridge to get to other places, like the Molly Malone statue (where some tours pick people up), that is a 30 minute walk. So, it depends. Overall, I have no complaints. But I want to mention two things. First, Google gives bad directions from the bus stop to the apartment, but if you follow Dwaine's directions, you won't have any problems. Second, you may want to bring an outlet adapter. I forgot Ireland uses different outlets than (most of) Europe and didn't bring one. Luckily, Dwaine has one at the apartment, so I was able to charge my devices one by one, but if you have a lot of devices to charge, you may want to bring an adapter. I only mention it because I totally forgot, but I was really grateful he had one!
