This was our first trip using Airbnb, and we are converted! We could not have asked for a nicer place to stay, or a more congenial host. Gerard's apartment is lovely, a smart, modern and extreme comfortable place to stay. It takes literally 10 mins to get to the centre of Dublin on the Luas (tram system) and the tram stop is right outside the apartment block. Gerard made us feel incredibly welcome in his home and we left feeling like friends rather than guests. Even though we had a short, rather rushed trip, we felt able to relax when we got back to the apartment after a busy day. Each morning various fresh breakfast ingredients were provided, a lovely mix of cereals, fresh juice, fruit, bagels/bread, tea/coffee etc. the kitchen was lovely- modern and very easy to use. The house instructions were really clear and helpful, so we knew how to switch everything on and off etc.
We arrived into Dublin late evening and we took Gerard up on the option of his Dad picking us up from the airport. He has his own cab, so this was a brilliant service, and meant that we had a cab journey at the right price, which was very reasonable.
All in all, we loved this mini break, and are looking forward to going back to Dublin. It would be great to stay with Gerard again, and we have no hesitation in recommending this apartment stay to anyone looking to stay in Dublin. Thanks Gerard!
