Garrett is definitely a superhost! He was very communicative and gave detailed check-in instructions. If you are a history-buff, you MUST stay here!!! (Ask Garrett for his write-up on the history of the building & apartment.) The view from the apartment of city hall and other period buildings were what sold me on this place (and it is definitely worth it!), but it wasn't until after booking that I learned its absolutely amazing history. (If you are a fan of Dublin writers, paranormal fiction, and Irish history, this place is for you!)
The apartment was clean & stylish yet relaxing after a long day of touring. (The building elevator was particularly appreciated after doing so.) I wanted a place that was walkable to most of the tourist spots yet not in the middle of the craziness of Temple Bar; and its location in the heart of historic Dublin made this extremely easy. And while we did walk to other areas to shop and sight-see, there was so much in the direct vicinity that it was unnecessary to travel far. And although the apartment kitchen was fully-stocked with the essentials, cooking isn't necessary with all the delicious places to eat close-by. I particularly recommend the downstairs bakery, Italian restaurant, and the 100-year old fish & chips shop 3-mins. away on Werburgh St!
And when it was time to check-out, the taxi stand right across the street made getting to airport in the pre-dawn hours quite simple. [Side notes: While there is an elevator in the building, due to the historic nature of the apartment, the floors are uneven with small steps between rooms, and there is very little area on either side of the toilet. So the place would not be particularly accessible for those with mobility issues.]
