I stayed two nights in May and found the flat clean and comfortable. I did find the electric shower to have two temperatures: very hot or very cold, no in between. I have suggested to Elaine that she consider adjusting the temperature. Elaine was very responsive when I could not get the washing machine to work due to an error message that the door was not properly closed. It was properly latched as far as I could tell. I downloaded the manual for the washing machine (model HWD–C1200TXVE-U) which told me how to operate the machine, and explained what error 1 meant. Elaine tried to get it fixed, but I left before the situation was resolved.
I was at the midpoint of a seven-week journey away from home so had a 25" suitcase plus a 20" carryon, both with four wheels. As I am in my 70s, it was hard to wheel my cases to the flat from the Airlink Express stop on Gardiner Street Lower, as the streets I traversed sloped upward at times, and the sidewalk was not always even. It was easier when I returned to the Airlink stop because the slope was primarily downward. If it had been raining I would have called for a taxi, though. Elaine can recommend a taxi company. Travelers will have less trouble if they are traveling lighter than I was.
Would I stay in the flat again? Yes I would, but at my age I am not certain that I will return to Ireland for another tour. The next one that interests me (Northern Ireland) won't take place until 2020.
