This is an honest review and I don’t mean any disrespect but I want people to know the truth. Paul the host is a nice gentleman and has good tips about Dublin. With that being said, the place is NOT as advertised. I’m not sure why people give this place good reviews. Unfortunately, the apartment is located off the beaten path on the border of Chinatown. The hallway leading to his apartment is disgusting and the odor is unbearable. This is not Paul’s fault but he doesn’t mention in his advertisement that there s locked gates and 2 licked doors to enter the building. A young lady met us with the keys after but at first he advised us to pick the keys up at a dropbox near a bus station which is also not mentioned in the advertisement, it actually says host will meet you. The floors in his place were sticky, items were left i. The washer, old food and ice in the refrigerator. “Breakfast” was a bowl of oranges and cereal in containers. No paper products other than toilet paper and only 2 old towels to bathe with. There are no carpets as pictured, as a matter of fact nothing looks like the pictures at all, there are stains on the couch which I didn’t even want to sit on. There are no pictures on the walls as pictured. The bed is old and when I sat on it to test it out you could feel the springs coming through. The pillows are flat and the bed linens were old and cheap. All in all not a good experience so we immediately left and went to a hotel where we felt safe and clean. I feel sorry for people that choose this place. Hopefully Paul will fix things up because it would be mych nicer if he did.
