We had a great stay at Cathy's place in Rathmines - the house was exactly as described but even then exceeded our expectations! This was our first time using airbnb and we were treated to a great experience. Due to some last minute changes in plans we were not able to meet Cathy in person, but she was very accommodating and her sister Esther was able to do the check in for us.
The house was in a lovely quiet area but still not too far from the main city center. The place was lovely and spacious for our group and was very clean and well presented throughout.
Cathy provided us with a few breakfast items (all greatly appreciated) and was very flexible on the day of check out - allowing us to stay a bit later so we had somewhere to leave luggage before catching an early evening flight.
Would definitely recommend this as a place to stay :) Thanks Cathy!
