Staying at Damien's home was my first Airbnb experience and it could not have gone more smoothly and stress-free. I arrived in Dublin before lunchtime and took a short cab ride, $15-$17 euro, and Damien was there to greet me at the door. His flexible check-in time allows for a personal welcome or a self-checkin process.
I am a visually-impaired traveler and I found the location and layout to be easy to manage. Damien provided information about the WiFi and other descriptions of the accommodations like the layout and where I could find my room if he would not be there when I got there to me beforehand. He did not treat me differently, which I appreciated very much. He has a great sense of humor and we shared some laughs.
It is a very quiet area! The room was cozy, the bed super comfortable, and my room was right next to the bathroom which was very convenient. I appreciated the adjustable showerhead height and handheld shower head feature. Everything was clean and tidy ...Damien was actually in the process of cleaning the bathroom while I was getting myself settled.
I was only there for one night and had an early morning departure at the airport. Damien drove me to the airport at 5 AM to catch my flight for a similar fee as a cab. He was even kind enough to walk me into the airport to get assistance at the airport which he went out of his way to do. I would definitely stay at Damien's again if I come back to Dublin.
