Robbie was a lovely host, providing us with very thorough and detailed instructions and house rules. Opening the front door required a bit of getting used to. No towel rack in the bathroom, so we weren't able to hang our set of fresh clothes. We were a bit surprised about how cold it was in the house and so had to go to bed with several layers of clothing and thick socks. Robbie was cool though about us taking a teapot with us upstairs to keep the chill away. Breakfast was fine, although a bit more variety would have been welcome. He buys a lot of organic produce, so breakfast was porridge, eggs and tangerines. The bed (couldn't lock it; bummer!) and bathroom (lock didn't always work) were clean. The bathroom was modern and clean, though the fake spider gave us quite the fright (shrieking was involved!). In sum, the good parts overweigh and we'd definitely recommend staying at Robbie's if you plan on traveling to Dublin!
