Danielle’s apartment exemplifies the original Airbnb experience of living like a local, and feeling at home in a neighbourhood. Staying in her apartment we felt like we were able to really get to know Dublin, you are within a short walk of all the historic sites but also beautiful local parks (we loved Iveagh Gardens and St Stephen’s Park) and minutes away from Michelin recommended restaurants and fantastic local coffee shops (we loved Sprezzatura, Meet me in the Morning, Cracked Nut, Green Bench, Uno Pizza).
I was travelling on my own with my children, and throughout our whole stay we felt safe in the knowledge that our host family were in the upstairs house, they gave us our space but were there to answer questions on WhatsApp and on Sundays Francois brought us delicious homemade crepes!
My daughter loved the full length mirrors (the apartment was previously a yoga studio) and spent hours practicing her dance routines! It was also great as I was teaching some online yoga classes whilst we were there so it gave me plenty of space to do that.
I’d highly recommend Danielle’s place if you are looking to “live like a local” whilst also still being able to easily walk to all that Dublin has to offer. We will be back for sure.
