Tom's apartment is an absolutely fantastic place to stay in during your vacation in Dublin. To begin with, it has a perfect location: not exactly in the city center (close to Phoenix park), but the area is peaceful and quiet, and there are 2 buses stopping right in front of the building that you can use (prepare 2.7 euro in coins per person for a one-way trip). Walking to the city center is also an option, by the way. The building itself is a must see, and the apartment is spacious, clean and located on the ground floor, so you won't have trouble with lifting your luggage. Last but not least, Tom is a fantastic host: very friendly, ensuring clear and efficient communication, giving useful recommendations on what to do in Dublin and the surroundings (don't miss the 5.5km walk from Greystones to Bray if the weather is nice; DART from the city center will take you there quite fast) - and even ready to help with a taxi booking, if needed. Late check-in was not a problem as well. All in all, I'll definitely try to get back during my next trip to Ireland.

A couple of suggestions for other travellers: the shower/water heating system is a bit specific, but everything works perfectly well and doesn't bring any real inconvenience, once you get used to it (Tom provides very good explanations). However, if you need more that 2 medium-size towels, bring one with you (it's worth it in humid climate anyway, as it takes time for clothes and towels to get dry), as well as toiletries (shampoo/shower gel).
