No internet. No hot water.
The Airbnb is charming and in a great location (though from my few days in Dublin, everything is pretty central). The host was extremely responsive leading up to my visit. The front door was in process of repair while I was staying, so I had to use the back entrance. No problem. I’m not a high maintenance guy.
But when I messaged her about there being no WiFi signal working on my second day , she choose not to respond at all (Of the four connections in the multi-unit house, only seldom would any show-up on my phone and when one did, the internet didn’t function at all.) Very frustrating, especially because I had work for my job to do. (I had mentioned this in my message to the host). So when there was no hot water, I opted to not contact her. I will admit this. Initially I thought I had not turned on the hot water heater per the instructions in the apartment book. But no, even with the switch on, only cold water.
Look, I hate leaving bad reviews. This is a really lovely house, my apartment was clean and welcoming, coffee left for me and even eggs in the refrigerator. But as far as the BASIC amenities go, it was really disappointing, pretty inexcusable.
