This was our second time in Dublin and we had an excellent stay and experience. You first meet the host Micheal before checking-in, he's very accommodating and helpful! He suggested which places we should check out in Dublin and he made sure we had everything we needed before he left. You will be in good hands with him! Smithfield is a fantastic area to stay in. Everything is very convenient. Local restaurants, coffee shops, grocers, and convenience stores all within' short walking distance. (5 mins, 10 mins max if you are going somewhere farther)
Pros:
• Gorgeous natural light in the flat
• Quiet neighborhood. There was no noise at night. It was a very peaceful spot to stay in.
• Centrally located to Dublin city. Very walkable.
• Well stocked bathroom, kitchen, and bedrooms
• Tea kettle and French press was a lovely addition for morning tea and coffee
Cons:
• The shower is tricky because the more people you have in your party taking showers back-to-back the water heater runs out of hot water quickly. So if you aren't used to this it can be inconvenient. You have to take very brief showers here.
• The double bed didn't have the most comfortable mattress, but the trundle bed and single-bed was super comfy!
All in all, I would highly recommend staying here for Micheal's hospitality alone. I'd stay here again!
