I stayed at Hidde's place for two weeks while working at the Bord Gais Energy Theatre and felt right at home. It was about a 2 minute walk to work which was amazing. The room is lovely and large and the en suite is beautiful and sparkling clean.
The flat is shared by three owners - each who rent out their rooms on Airbnb when not in Dublin. Because it was the Christmas holidays I don't think any of the hosts were home, but I met some very nice Airbnb guests staying in the other rooms.
The kitchen is well equipped for basic cooking with lots of glasses, plates, cutlery, etc. The clothes washer/dryer worked well and was very welcome because my stay was so long. I never used the dishwasher, but it looked new and in working order.
The apartment building is next door to a large construction site which was active the first week I was there. The noise didn't bother me, I am a very good sleeper, but for people more sensitive to the low hum of construction vehicles it might be an issue. The second week I was there was a holiday week so all was quiet. From the looks of the site, this construction will continue for another year at least I would think. It is just at the foundation digging stage at the moment.
