My visit to Dublin from the U.S. was to situate my daughter at UCD. This location is ideal as it's a safe, 1 mile (1.7KM) walk to campus via the lovely Deer Park. It's quick and easy to get a taxi (the FreeNow app is wonderful!) from the Airbnb as well. The home is located in a residential area in walking distance to food and shopping. While the door to the Airbnb is private, the entrance to the basement apartment is inside a family home. There is a lock on the basement door so I felt safe and secure while sleeping. The curtains are fairly dark so sleep was not a problem. The refrigerator and hot water kettle were clean and worked well. Ahead of time, John was quite helpful with information/guidance and continued to be available for questions throughout my stay. Overall, the unit provided basic accommodations for one person at a reasonable cost.
