Although we never met in person, host was very responsive and messaged me along the way to make sure we had everything we needed. the lock box was the deciding factor for me booking since we were arriving at 1:00am and departing at 7am. Check-in and check-out were super easy!
One of the things I absolutely loved, loved, loved was that the host and previous guests left condiments in the kitchen. Coffee, tea, sugar, oil, salt and pepper and a few other items. This is soooooo nice when arriving somewhere new.
The house is in a good location. Still Dublin, but not on the main tourist area. It was about a half hour walk to the sites. We lucked out with good weather so the walk was pleasant for us. Host provided a folder filled with info on public transportation, taxis, ect.. in case walking is not feasible.
We ate/drank at Doyle's a few times which is maybe a 5-10 min walk from house. You also have grocery stores Spar and Tesco in the same area.
Kitchen is well stocked. Shower is spacious and there is an on-demand electric heater in the shower so you'll never run out of hot water! Although the place is cozy, it can comfortably sleep 5.
The only improvements I may recommend is that the mattresses could use an upgrade and there is a lost opportunity with the backyard. A backyard clean-up with a simple table and chairs would add a great outdoor space for summertime visitors.
