Patrick’s assistant who was there to greet us, and Patrick himself were really great with communication, and even gave us some local suggestions for our stay.
Overall we had a good stay at Patrick’s place, I wouldn’t say it was any better or any worse. Maybe the weather was unusually hot in Ireland for this time period (June), but being from Florida we were still very hot when we slept. There was no AC in the house, or a fan for the bedroom, and we weren’t expecting that. The location isn’t too far from Temple Bar or Trinity College area (10-15 minute walk), and it’s located in an area that felt pretty safe. It does get noisy, as the house is located at what seemed to be a busy intersection with cars coming and going all night, and without AC we were having to leave the windows open, so we heard all of this traffic. If you’re renting a car I suggest having a plan in advance, because parking isn’t cheap and the closest car park was about 7-8 minutes away. The last thing I feel is worth mentioning that may be of interest to future residents would be that it’s located directly above a funeral home, that may not be a big deal to some people, but we felt that it would’ve been nice to know before arriving.
