Sara was a quick and very responsive host. She wasn’t around for my visit so I was checked in by a friend of hers. The cleanliness of the kitchen was the main issue for me as I enjoy cooking my own meals and upon arrival I was greeted to an unclean kitchen. I the beginning of my arrival day having to clean the kitchen myself which was not fun. The blinds in the living room weren’t functional so privacy wasn’t available. The lack of warm water for my morning showers was also a strong negative and I was unable to shower everyday. Sara advised me the hot water would be available after 6am however it wasn’t. Other than these negatives, the apartment is in a prime location and I enjoyed my stay in Dublin thanks to having a place so close to the downtown core.
