We instantly felt very at home in Marie's lovely and lively spot, that could not be any more centrally-located in the heart of Temple Bar. She provided many thoughtful touches, including detailed instructions about how to find the apartment and what to expect, cold drinks in the fridge, space heaters in every room (including 2 in the bedroom and one in the bathroom) to instantly create coziness, and earplugs in case the buzz of bar patrons below got too loud (it's loud, but much quieter in the bedroom and made for nice white background noise). Our only trouble was with smoke that would come in from the unit below, but that's beyond her control and one of those facets of Airbnb life. We found ourselves missing the comfort and space of her place as we continued our trip, and would recommend it to others wanting a very central spot from which to walk everywhere in Dublin.
