Highly recommend this place! I came to Dublin with my boyfriend for the weekend and this accommodation suited us perfectly.
We arrived a few hours before check-in but we were able to check-in early which was great. We never actually met Ben but he was excellent at communicating and told us where to pick up the keys etc. We had the whole upper floor to ourselves which made us feel like we had the privacy of having a house to ourselves. The bedroom is beautiful and has so much character and the private bathroom was fit for purpose with a powerful shower and warm water.
Ben's place is about a 20-30 minute walk from the centre, which was fine for us but maybe a bit long for people who don't like walking. However, there are bus stops really close by and taxis everywhere.
Our flight was in the evening on our day of departure but we were able to keep our bags in the house after checking out until we were ready to pick them up before leaving for the airport.
Overall a fantastic place and would stay here again!
