Guys, seriously, Peter is literally not just the best possible Airbnb host — he is also a genuinely wonderful and kind man. This was my friend Cara’s and my second time staying with him (we stayed with him for two nights back in July and loved every minute of it)! He is so sweet and generous, and we spent the end of every day just having a beer and chatting with him. Also, Peter has the CUTESTTTT little four-year-old dog named Tilley who is just PRECIOUS and so friendly and sweet and loving!
Peter’s apartment is lovely and cozy while also being spacious. We have our own bathroom, and full access to the kitchen and living room, so it’s literally like you’re living in this beautiful apartment with a roommate rather than as a guest. There’s a full grocery store a scenic 20-minute walk away, and downtown Tallaght and the tram into Dublin a lovely 15-minute walk from the apartment. The Airport Hopper every hour arrives in and departs from downtown Tallaght and it is very easy to walk the 15-20 minutes to Deerpark Place, or a 5-minute (10-euro) taxi/Uber drive.
If you’re tired and don’t feel like trekking all the way into downtown Dublin for a pint, there is a really cute horse racing pub around the corner from Peter’s apartment as well, where you’ll meet the truly lovely local regulars who are super friendly and welcoming to outsiders. Honestly, everything you could need or want is in Tallaght; its easy proximity to Dublin is just a huge perk!
We love you Peter, and will definitely be back!!
