We spent a family holiday weekend with my dad and brother at Shane's apartment in Aug 2018. We were left with a super positive experience! What Shane calls a comfortable pad, I would call a luxury apartment. Everything in the apartment was modern and clean with all the amenities you could think of. Shane's hospitality made us feel super welcome feeling right from the start. He was fast to help with any of our questions and met with us personally when we arrived giving us a tour of the apartment and giving recommendations on what to experience in Dublin. I'm not experienced with a lot of Airbnb visits, but I can't imagine a better place nor host than Shane. The location is very convenient very near to Christchurch Cathedral and a 5 minute walk to Temple Bar. I can wholeheartedly recommend Shane and his place for your Dublin visit and am very happy to give it 5 stars!
