Cathal responded to every AirBnb message swiftly and in detail. He offered detailed information about traveling from the airport and around town. He graciously allowed us to drop our bags well before the check-in time, and offered suggestions for where to grab breakfast while we waited to drop off our bags. We were sorry we weren't able to meet Cathal in person, but we found his cleaning person to be lovely. Over the course of our stay, Cathal checked in via text several times. He also graciously offered to let us stay beyond the usual checkout time since he had no one coming in.

The apartment is spacious, clean, and well-kept. The ceilings seem high, which is nice. The apartment is about 10 minutes walk from the center of the city-- we walked all over with little difficulty and the tour bus stops are a block away.

Dublin is crowded and frenetic; the traffic is insane. While there is no noise from other apartments, road noise is always present. This is more noticeable in the apartment bedrooms, but it didn't bother us. There are also times when loud conversations from the sidewalk can be heard. All in all, we had a pleasant experience.
