Elaine does a great job of being available, helpful and extremely thoughtful without being at all intrusive. We arrived a day late due to a problem with our aircraft, we were wiped out, and she left goodies outside the door while we took extended naps.
The apartment is in a safe, quiet area with a little row of shops nearby - small Tesco supermarket, liquor store, cafe, greengrocer, etc. The bus is around the corner, and the luas tram is a few minutes further in the other direction - the two made it super easy to get to/from excursion departure points, Temple Bar, and all the major sites. It was my mother's first AirBnB experience and she was delighted.
