Cormac's place is within easy walking distance of many points of interest in Dublin. It was a great location for us. The pictures were accurate regarding the majority of the apartment, except for the bathroom. It is in serious need of some TLC.
The paint on the ceiling was peeling off in sheets, due to a faulty ceiling fan. There were water stains running down the walls. The bathtub and surrounding tile had pink mildew/mold. I ended up wearing my flip flops in the tub while showering, due to this. That's a simple matter of cleaning. The toilet wouldn't flush completely, which presents a problem... I contacted Cormac regarding the lack of water pressure for the toilet, which he told us, the next morning, to close the lid when flushing, which helped. This would have been nice to know prior to arriving, considering after a long day of travel, you have three people all needing the bathroom.
The beds were clean and extremely comfortable, which was much appreciated after traveling all day.
Check in was super easy with Cormac's neice, Roisin. He also left some Guinness, fruit, coffee, and bread, which was a nice touch.
The listing did not say this is typically a personal residence, when not being rented as an air bnb. I appreciate knowing this when looking at listings. I tend to stay away from those type of rentals. Just my personal preference. May not be an issue for others.
