Edward was a phenomenal host. We arrived in Dublin at around 8am (5 hours before the apartment would be ready). Edward met us in Dublin, took our bags, showed us where the apartment was in his car and dropped us back into town. Such a nice gesture that he didn't have to do. Once the apartment was ready at 12.30, Edward showed us everything we needed to and suggested good places we could go and visit during our stay. The apartment is great. It has everything you would need from a hairdryer to fresh towels. It was clean and stylish. The bed is comfy and the sofa turns into a bed should you need it. There is a Tesco about 5 minutes walk away and other local convenient stores even closer. The apartment is much closer to the centre than we thought, it is about a 15 minute walk. There are two local pubs but we never actually tried them, however they looked fine. We tended to walk to Temple Bar which was a 20 minute stroll. We always walked and never used a bus or taxi, there really is no need. We never felt unsafe in the area, we walked back about 1am and it was fine. The apartment really added to our Dublin experience and we can't thank Edward enough for his hospitality.
