Great place and in a great location with lots of restaurants and a couple of lively bars!
We didn't meet John however he arranged the delivery of the keys at a specified time and was also kind enough to leave some parking tickets to park on the street outside the house.
Plenty of taxis to Dublin City centre or a 10 minute walk to the Luas (Dublin tram) which gets you to the centre in around 10 mins!
All in all, a great first Airbnb experience!
