I know that when a review is too over-the-top raving it tends to sound fake. That said, I have to post that kind of a review. Maria & Marco are amazing hosts. Nothing was left to chance. The keys were there when we arrived. They even sent a link to a video showing how to open the sofa bed should we need to use it. Everything we needed was there: a teapot, tea, sugar, soap, shampoo, paper towels & lots of bath towels. The apartment itself has been recently redone and it is lovely with wood floors in the living areas and ceramic in the kitchen and bath. The location is as described, right in the heart of Dublin. The building itself is very secure.
People who know me have come to accept that I am somewhat "calendar challenged", arriving a day early for a party or two weeks early for a meeting. This happened while in Dublin. I honestly thought that we were to stay one day longer even though the dates on the reservation were quit clear. When Marco showed up to see how much needed to be tidied up after our visit and found us still there it was a bit awkward but he handled it great diplomacy as I apologized and turned red with embarrassment. Not everyone would have been so understanding of my "quirk".
One warning -- you may never want to leave.
