John was an excellent host and his apartment was very comfortable – and in a great location! We didn't meet John, but his friend met us at the air coach drop off and it was a short walk to the apartment from there. The apartment is very clean and has everything you need for a great stay in Dublin. He provided very detailed information on the best spots to visit and please take advantage of his great recommendations! We saw some incredible trad music within walking distance that wasn't very crowded. It was wonderful! The location is easy walking distance to the Temple Bar area, the castle, etc. It was also ideal if flying into the airport and not renting a car. The air coach drops you off just a couple blocks away. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
