We had such a gas staying at Rob's flat. It was perfect for our needs, and the right amount of coziness with the interior and convenience with the location.
Rob provided excellent directions from the airport, and while their is keyed-entry to the building and a lockbox for the flat, we actually met with him in person! He was super friendly and helpful. Just a quick note that it is a walk-up, so anyone with large luggage or accessibility concerns please note; however, it's only a couple of flights so no big deal!
The flat itself has such a unique character- from the windows to the rafters to all the personal touches (books, decor, etc.). Rob has a collection of films and games- as well as a beautiful kitchen space and dining area for those interested in making meals. It's the perfect size for anyone travelling on their own, or for a couple.
The building is in quite a convenient location- the neighbourhood has loads of fun places to explore and is steps away from the former home of Bernard Shaw. it's about a 20min walk to most sights/attractions (e.g. Teeling, Guinness, Temple Bar, Grafton Street, etc.), but is also just off a main road with many bus routes for those that'd prefer not to walk.
All in all we had a lovely time staying her and were sad to go. This converted church flat truly added a uniqueness to our trip that was unexpected and wholly welcome. We are already looking forward to (one day) being able to return.
Thanks so much Rob for the great conversation, recommendations, and the accommodation!
