Micheal certainly lived up to "super host" quality. Communication was easy and hassle free, he even let us in earlier than typical check in time. He met us at a lovely cafe which is located right below the apartment, walked us upstairs, and provided us with some wonderful recommendations for the area. Cows Lane is a relatively quiet street and perfect for coffee and breakfast. However you are very close to the livelier areas in Dublin. It's truly a great location! We rented bikes and biked to Malahie--long but well worth it! Thanks for everything Michael!
