This could have been a lovely experience if the photos on the website reflected what we got. I hope the garden has been cleaned up, the back door is repaired and usable, the shower drain is cleaned regularly and the shower door doesn't fall off again. There were other small issues that sadly added up to this not being a great experience for us. I hope the next guest has more privacy than we did and the owner doesn't show up unexpectedly and more than once.
The location is actually in Killester and very close to the train station which was a great asset. The house itself is truly ideal for a short stay if everything is in working order. It was overall a very expensive 9 days to not have everything in working order. Although management were communicative in the beginning, the issues in the house should have been resolved in advance of our stay, given the cost. I personally did not go on vacation to have workers coming and going to do repairs while we're staying there. Having back to back renters obviously didn't allow time for management to properly assess what was calling for attention before we checked in.
I really hope the house gets the maintenance it deserves and the next guest had a nice time there.
