Rachel was the most attentive and delightful host that I have dealt with yet on Airbnb. Her place was extremely welcoming and cozy. I really enjoyed the view of the canal. It was perfect for people (and swan) watching. Only about a 25 minute walk to the city center where all the shopping, restaurants, pubs, and clubs are. I have to say that Dublin is one of my favorite places I've ever visited. The people are extremely friendly and open and before you know it, you feel like you've been there all along. A+++ for Rachel and Dublin!
