I’ve had cause to use a lot of AirBnBs in Dublin in the last year, and I can unequivocally say that Susan’s house is by far and away the best experience I have had to date. It’s a tastefully modernised, traditional cottage in one of the city’s most desirable neighbourhoods. I should know; I lived in Dublin for 25 years before leaving last April and still regularly return for work. It’s a short walk north to the city centre and to the south lies Ranelagh; a cosy suburb with some of the best eateries around. You’re also right beside the Grand Canal, providing lovely, leafy walks where you’ll find yourself rubbing shoulders with real Dubliner’s, not just tourists.
It’s been my experience that all too often the photographs of a guest’s house fail to live up to the experience of being there. This couldn’t be further from the truth when it comes to this house. It was carefully designed by an architect to maximise the space, and despite the footprint, it has a lovely, airy feel to it. Small details throughout the property really lift the experience into something special. Susan’s tasteful furnishings and decorations are the perfect compliment to this warm, spotless home which is well kitted out with everything you could need for your trip.
My interactions with the host lived up to the high standard of everything else. She was very welcoming and always available to help with anything we needed.
I wouldn’t hesitate to book here again. It really was the perfect place to stay. If you thinking about it, you can stop now. Do yourself a favour and make the reservation while you still can. I can guarantee it will go above and beyond your expectations, no matter how high they might be.
