We stayed at Sam's place during our vacation in Ireland. Sam's place was very nice and just what we needed after a long day walking around Dublin. The apartment is on the top floor (4th floor) and it overlooked the city street. They have a very nice outdoor patio with tons of plants, which was quite lovely. The bathroom was large and was much appreciated as most Irish bathrooms seem "miniature" compared to our bathrooms at home. As for the host, Sam was very courteous, friendly, and readily accessible in terms of communication. He even provided us a list of restaurants and bars he liked to frequent. Free wifi.
Great apartment and great location. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Ireland.
