Thomas was a great host!
We never actually met Thomas during our stay, but the communications before we arrived was impeccable. He provided us with all necessary information and even made us a list of places we should visit during our stay in Dublin. The apartment is located three stops with the train from Dublin downtown, but the train runs all the time (except sunday mornings apparently) so you're well connected with the urban life. A quiet and good looking neighborhood in my opinion.
I do not hesitate when I give Thomas five stars as a host. Recommended :)
