We LOVED our stay in Dublin at Garrett and Ronan's apartment. We stayed 2 nights over a weekend in January for a get together of old school friends - we now live in Birmingham, London and Edinburgh and so Dublin seemed a fun place for us all to go, as we were going to have to travel wherever we met... And we LOVED Dublin!

Garrett was very approachable and responsive during the booking process and in the lead up to arrival. He sent some excellent PDFs with all the info you could possibly require on arrival instructions and recommendations for eating and drinking. We really appreciated them!

The apartment itself is wonderful. Very tastefully decorated, it has modern fittings and appliances whilst still retaining its traditional character. We particularly liked the open plan kitchen / dining / living area which makes for a very sociable room. From this room you have fantastic views across the road and through to the castle and city hall. Stunning! The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious. WIFI was fast, the shower was powerful and hot and our favourite feature was the De'Longhi coffee machine!

Our only minor panic was that there was no corkscrew - a small problem on a girls' weekend - only when we looked a bit closer, we found two! Very well equipped kitchen.

The area is wonderful... Close to Temple Bar but also to other quieter places. We enjoyed pizza and meatballs at Skinflint which is a funky place just literally 3 mins walk. We also headed to Pitt Bros BBQ for some quick pulled pork. There are so many bars and restaurants that you could stay a long time and your tastebuds would never be bored! Recommend using groupon or another deals / voucher website as we were lucky to find really cheap deal for a city bus tour!

Definitely plan to return to this wonderful apartment and recommend it to others - clean, characterful, with charismatic host! Thank you
