My experience will Bill and his gorgeus cottage was simply the best I have ever had with Airbnb and can easily compete with boutique hotels. I booked months ago, and he was so helpful and kind form the beginning, sharing with me the cottage guide and his personal Dublin guide with excellent suggestions on food, pubs and sightseeing. It really helped me planning the trip. We arrived very late on friday evening and we found lights on, and a welcoming bottle of wine, food for breakfast on the table with a handwritten note from Bill just to welcome us. As you can see form the picture, the house is beautiful, it could be featured in a design magazine and it's so full of personal details and ecellent products (olive oil, jam and sauces in the fridge, spices, very good towels and linens), that you feel at home from the very beginning. Portobello is a great choice in Dublin, 20 minutes by foot from the city center and still a green, peaceful, quiet neighbourhood with great restaurants and antiques shops. I could't dream a better stay and hope to come back soon.
