What a great place! Mahmut and his lovely family met us upon arrival. He gave us a brief informative tour of the place, which was very helpful. As Americans, it was nice to have someone explain Dublin’s circuit breaker/hot water heater system (very easy when you know!). He has every amenity: an iron, coffee maker, blow dryer, a fully equipped kitchen and a washing machine and drying rack. All of which we used during our stay. The place is new and feels new. Well appointed and comfortable, it is safe, well equipped, reasonably priced, and walking distance to everywhere - Grafton Street, St. Stephens and St. Patrick’s, Temple Bar district, the university and other places. Uber and cabs also easily find the place and we even had a cab driver know our host (Mahmut is a bit of a local celebrity). The neighborhood is full of antique shops, cafes, and cute places to visit. Mahmut’s own shop is downstairs guaranteeing that not only is your host easily accessible but you have perhaps the most beautiful rug shop in town steps away!
I would stay here again and will recommend this place to my friends and family.
