Unbeatable location in Temple Bar, fantastic river views from the floor-to- ceiling windows. Easy check in and quick, responsive communication. Garret allowed for some flexibility with our check in and check out times to accommodate our travel. We did not get that extra host warmth described in other reviews although the communication and the process were very professional. There were no welcome items in the fridge or travel guides mentioned in other reviews. The apartment was cozy but could use a few updates like fresh paint and newer linens. Overall, Garret’s place was a good choice for a short visit to Dublin and a stay in Temple Bar.
