We were a group of 4, looking for a place to stay in what we later realised was a very eventful week in Dublin. There was almost no place available at an affordable price, but then we stumbled on David's apartment. It stood out to us as it was very central, and very well connected, while still being within our budget.
One thing we were at first concerned about was how noisy the apartment was going to be, being so close to the station. This turned out to be not an issue at all, as the terrace is very well insulated, so if the door is closed, so the sound is minimal. Also, the bedrooms are on the other side of the flat, and are also well insulated, so we our sleep was never disturbed.
The location was also great as it was a short walk away from the starting point of one of the local free walking tours, many sights, and great restaurants. And planning a visit to the Howth peninsula is great, as the Dart takes you there in 30 minutes from Tara station.
The apartment itself is clean, well-furnished, and had all the amenities we needed - we could relax not having to rush to the super market to buy toilet paper, soap and shampoo on our first day. Also, what we found super convenient, was that one of the bedrooms has its own bathroom.
Most important of all was that David was a great host, he was super responsive, and made sure that any question we have or anything we needed was addressed!
Would definitely stay here again!
