We've had a great time staying at Shane's place. Not only is he a very receptive and open person, and was always willing to help us and guide us as to what to do in Dublin and some of Irish culture, but also his place is great. The bed is really comfortable, the room and bathroom are really tidy and he also served us breakfast during our stay, which was really kind of him. The apartment is really well located with everything at a walking distance if you don't mind strolling a little bit. The center is about a 15 minute walk and we could do everything on foot. There are also parks and plenty of commerce in the region, which is nice.
We definitely recommend him and would be willing to stay in his place again.
