First of all, I tried to get in contact with the host, on the same day I was arriving and he never answered, there was no way I could communicate as I didn’t have a contact phone either. Then the room is as advised on the profile, but it was dirty. The bed had the sheets from the previous guest or previous guests; I found hair, stains on the sheets and it smelled like at least couple of people slept there before. You’re paying a “cleaning fee” when you book. Then the shower, no hot water, it wasn’t completely cold but still unsuitable for a comfortable shower, I ended up shaking and wanting to finish the shower as soon as possible. When I arrived i was given two towels, one small and one that was supposed to be the main one, i couldn’t even wrap it around my body as it was as big as a hand towel, and the worst of it, they were both semi-wet. Room door has a lock but they don’t provide you with a key, even if there are other guests wandering in the house. They are noisy, even past 12, you’ll need earplugs to fall asleep. They leave the key in the lock of the main door, so if you go out at night and arrive late, you’re unable to open the door, as a result, it’s useless that they give you a key.
I think they are nice people but my stay was really uncomfortable as they didn’t offer basic services I was paying for, I wouldn’t recommend if you want a pleasant stay in Dublin. Also if you move by bus, you’ll need to take at least 2 buses to get to city centre.
