The hosts communication and ability to accommodate our later arrival and departure was great. They are very nice and friendly, professional and helpful. The location is very central and convenient and felt safe. The unit needs a makeover and cleaning and is not up my standards. The unit needs a professional cleaning service to address a deep cleaning especially the bathrooms, and kitchen area. The area rugs were worn. Note kitchen has no basic kitchen staples. The nonstick pans were scratched and flaking Teflon, some beds were creaky, the outside stairs are unsafe after rain and they are also unsafe for young children because the railings had a high openings. Also note that they are difficult for older people with mobility issues and do not have enough lighting at night. Also note that the only common space to gather as a group is the long kitchen table. There are two chairs opposite the table but that’s it. We had a family of 10 and it was very tight for all of us to sit there after a day of sightseeing. We were grateful that our entire family could stay somewhere in central Dublin together. If these issues get fixed it will be the perfect spot!
