Location is great. It’s located in a quiet/sleepy residential block of houses. It’s about a five minute walk to st pats cathedral and only about 10 minutes to Christ church and city center is easy to get to in about 20. We took the main road from Christ church at all hours of the day and felt safe. Neighborhood has a fantastic selection of middle eastern food for lunch or take away. House is also close to a Mace and Tesco Express if you want to pick up snacks or drinks.
Paul was a great host. He had his friend Julian check us in who answered all our questions, showed us the highlights of the house and neighborhood (much nicer than other Dublin air bnbs where you pick up keys from a lockbox and never meet your host). Julian was also flexible with our arrival time which helped out a lot since the four of us were flying into Dublin at different times. House itself was very clean with towels and decent selection of toiletries, coffee, tea etc. Heat worked great (so good you might end up having to crack a window and again a lot better than some of the frigid apartment air bnbs in Dublin I’ve stayed at). There was plenty of space for four guys and the hot water heater stood up to back to back showers without issue. I’d highly recommend this place for someone who wants a quiet spot for a good nights rest that is very close to the action in city center.
