THIS is how airbnb should be done! The unit it convenient, clean, and comfortable. It’s obviously newly renovated and still has that fresh, new-home smell. Christian was easy to coordinate with ahead of time. We were arriving a couple of hours before check-in and told him we could hang out at a café until 3:00, but he arranged to have the flat ready at 1:00PM, on our schedule. He met us himself and was a lovely person. He and his father-in-law insisted on carrying our extremely heavy bags up the several flights of stairs. The unit is just a couple of blocks from the Guinness Storehouse (which is quite a production!), and we walked from the flat to all of the following: Trinity College (where we saw the Book of Kells, which I highly recommend), the National Gallery of Art, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Christchurch, the oldest pub in Dublin (The Brazen Head, where we enjoyed an evening of Irish traditional storytelling), the National Library for a Yeats exhibit, Dublin Castle, and the spectacular and fascinating National Museum of Ireland (my girls loved the Viking history, bog bodies, and prehistoric gold). Had we wished, we could have taken a short, direct bus ride to any of these places, but the walk to the center of the city was pleasant. There’s a little convenience store right underneath the flat, but we didn’t really need it – Christian welcomed up us with soda bread, milk, eggs, tea, coffee, fruit, several types of breakfast cereal, etc. He had all the extras we needed – hand soap, dishwashing detergent, clothes detergent, toiletries, etc. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
