I would strongly recommend Aidan and his Cozy cottage to anyone looking for a real taste of Dublin.
My boyfriend and I (age 21) were traveling accross Europe for 5 weeks with our first stop in Dublin. I had connected with Aidan over Airbnb about 2 months prior to travel and he was extremely helpful from day one. He gave us advice on how best to travel from the airport and even gave us prices to be sure that no one tried to pull a fast one on us. He gave us a warm welcome and made us a fresh pot of much needed coffee upon our arival and gave us a tour of his home. The room was perfect for the two of us. It was comfortable, clean and just a quick walk to the center of Dublin. Aidan was quick to offer great travel advice and had an umbrella, a map and tourist info ready on hand. Staying with Aidan was a great way to start our travels!
