Now usually my reviews are short and sweet. I've used airbnb on a few occasions and always enjoyed my stays and found my hosts welcoming. My stay in Dublin wasn't quite what I expected, having read most of the reviews on here. I stayed for one night with my traveling companion (sister) and both of us were a bit disappointed with our stay. Haya was not there (I guess, I never actually had the chance to meet her) - her daughter was the one to check us in, she was lovely, but when we had questions later there was no one to ask without incurring an international text fee. Check in time changed multiple times, but when we did get there, the room was clean. I think that you stay for location, as really it's a bed, with a shared bathroom on another floor, no wifi provided, & generally really limited amenities. We weren't shown to the kitchen/livingroom area (I guess that's not shared or accessible to guests, though in previous airbnbs I've stayed at they've been quite happy for us to cook breakfast and stuff for ourselves in there as long as we cleaned up after ourselves, especially as there wasn't one provided.) The bathroom door kept getting stuck (with the lock catching since it was a bit out of alignment) - I had a bit of a fright when I thought I wouldn't be able to wiggle it open enough and was stuck, but I ended up getting out after a couple minutes of working at it. I guess Dublin as a whole is fairly expensive but in hindsight I would have felt like my money was better spent somewhere else.
