Oh my gosh.. I don’t think a quick review could put into words how amazing Declan is and how wonderful my stay was. For starters, Declan is the most gracious host - from the moment I booked the room, he immediately reached out to ask if I needed anything or help getting from the airport to his place. Then, when I arrived, he was waiting outside and helped me with my bags into his place (which, by the way, was super close to the airport). He welcomed me with tea, pastries, etc. The room was fantastic and exactly what you want when you arrive after a long day of travel - comfy bed, quiet, zen-like room (lava lamp and candle included) :) and super clean. The apartment is huge and also very clean. Around the apartment complex is a lot of green as well, so you can for sure go on a run/hike if interested.
Over the next few days, Declan went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable in Dublin and I will be always grateful for his hospitality. I have never had an AirBnB host experience like mine with Declan (and I travel every month internationally for work) and I hope that everyone is able to have a similar experience on AirBnB someday. If you’re debating between this and another spot in Dublin, you’d be crazy to book elsewhere - Declan is amazing and you will have the most wonderful time.
