The place: It is located in a very quiet residential area. The first thing we noticed when we first entered the house was how nice and fresh it smelled. The living room was very orderly and well-lighted by the skylights overhead. We were shown everything that we could possibly need during our stay. Our room, upstairs, was very clean and tidy, so was the ensuite bathroom. The sheets, the pillows and the towels all had that fresh clean smell that you just want to sink your face in them. It rained on and off when we were there and it was nice to see, and hear, raindrops on the bay window by the bed. Although you can, actually, walk to the city center, it is far enough to feel that you have come home after a long day's adventure. And you might not even need an alarm clock - the birds will wake you up in the morning with their singing.
The people: Dean & Martin were away when we arrived in Dublin so they arranged for a colleague/friend to meet us and check us in. When Maddie arrived at the unit, she sent a message to check with us to make sure we were on our way. There was a problem with Uber so she suggested we use a different taxi hailing service. She made our checking in very pleasant and easy, and made sure that we had everything we needed. We met Martin the following day and it was a very nice and very friendly, although brief, conversation. Although we saw him one more time during our stay, they were already away when we left so we were not able to say goodbye to them in person. I would definitely stay at their place again, should we have a change to visit Dublin in the future.
