We stayed in Paul's place for two nights. Although we never actually met Paul, he was very fast at responding when we had a question. His friend, Julian, met us at the apartment to orient us on how to use everything and give us some tips on how to get places. Although we were close to everything, the apartment was very quiet and sleeping was great. I was a bit surprised that there was no television so we could keep up with the goings on in the world. We had a great time in Dublin and would rent from Paul again.
