Sharlene's place is in a great location for foodies and people who want to explore Dublin South of the river on foot. It is a daylight basement apartment and very quiet during our visit. It is more challenging than average to find partly because google maps identifies the address at a neighboring location and because entry is actually through the metal gated auto entrance at the back of the building (down a small dead end street that is the only such street along that stretch) activated by telephone (so you MUST have phone service and add a "+" symbol to the number Sharlene will give you to call on your mobile- it rings twice and opens the gate- apparently common in Ireland, but unprecedented in my experience in the US). But it is all worth it in the end. Once you get in you can use a key to enter a stairway to an entry on the street location.
If you visit during months requiring heat you may need some help setting the super high quality Viessman condensing boiler hidden in a cabinet in the kitchen. Instructions taped to the boiler are skeletal unless you are gas boiler expert (I happen to have a Viessman boiler at home- rare in the US). Keep in mind that it takes about 12 hours for the apartment to reach "steady state", but it will be super comfortable after that- not to worry! Sharlene responds promptly through the Air BnB app and gives you her phone number if you have questions or problems.
We found Sharlene's quirky and charming- a hidden gem in a hipster section of Dublin but a little more challenging than most Air BNB sites to "master". Be adventurous and learn some new skills! We look forward to a return visit.
