As none of our own Dublin apartments were available, I booked to stay with Paul. It was a mixed experience. His messages seem to be automated so at times you will not get a response to your questions.
I did not like going to the place where we had to go to pick up the keys: it was a casino / gambling arcade. Unfortuantely you cannot see where the apartment is before booking and I would not have chosen that location had I known beforehand. It took a while to find the apartment and what I will say here is that it was spotless. However, there are no hangers to hang your clothes in the wardrobes.
We checked out before the appointed 11am check out time and at 11.05am my friend realised that she had left her credit cards in the drawer beside the bed. We were unable to contact Paul as his phone was off. Airbnb were unable to contact Paul because his phone was off. We both messaged him through Airbnb and he came back to us through the messaging system at 11.41am (35mins later). We were glad that we did not have to catch a flight as the time lapse in the response and help required could have been crutial (he only messaged us through Airbnb - still no phone call back from him). We managed to get back into the apartment ourselves and not through support or help from Paul.
So overall, a clean apartment but zero support by phone. Perhaps a co-host might be an idea so they can answer phone calls or qestions in the messages.
