Tom was a wonderful host and very helpful with ideas of what to do in Dublin. The apartment was just as described, very clean with all amenities stated. We felt very safe in the apartment having locked gait access and double lock on the door. Tom was very attentive and was available for anything we needed (though we didn't need much). The apartment was about a 40 minute safe walk from the center of Dublin; there was a local grocery store, coffee shop and bakery within a 5 minute walk. Bikes are available to rent for 5 euro for 3 days with various locations around Dublin. We were going to rent the bikes, but a credit card with a chip/pin is required. So if you are planning on renting the bikes in Dublin, make sure you have a card with a chip in it. That was the only issue we came upon, but we ended up just walking to the city instead.
