We had a lovely time in Dublin! The flag was beautifully decorated and furnished and was well equipped. One of the perks of staying in the flat was that we could self-cater. We were able to make ourselves a great fry up and a good dinner with very little difficulty. There were 6 of us staying in the apartment very comfortably. Two of us were on the sofa bed and we had no problems setting this up and had a very restful nights sleep. Our only criticism of the flat was the location of the bathroom. To get to the bathroom you have to go through the bedroom where the other four guests were sleeping which was not always ideal. The shower also comfortably has enough hot water for 5 decent showers in a row, so we took it in turns as to who was to have the last shower as the water would be quite cool by the time the last person had finished. All this being said the flat really was beautiful and we had no other qualms with the flat at all. Liam also helpfully arranged transport for us to and from the airport! The driver very kindly provided us with maps and then as we arrived quite late he stopped at the flat so we could put our stuff down then drove us to tesco for no extra charge. The flat is well located. It is about a 20 minute walk from the nearest tram station but if the weather had been nice we would have happily walked the extra distance into the city centre. There was a bus strike on for two days whilst we were there but on the Sunday we were able to get the bus straight into town. The flat is on a bus route. We were also able to get two taxis into town on the Saturday night for €15 per taxi. So in terms of location, it was perfect! As mentioned tesco's is just round the corner for those who do want to self cater. There is also a local pub down the road called Hynes Bar. This is very much a locals pub but when we got there we found all the locals were very friendly and came over and spoke to us. On our first night one of the locals even bought us a round of drinks to welcome us to Dublin! Lastly, although Liam couldn't greet us at the airport himself he did come and visit on the Saturday morning to check everything was ok with the flat and that we had settled in ok. Liam was also on hand via the app to answer any and all questions at a moments notice which was also greatly appreciated.
Overall we has a wonderful time in Dublin and Liam's flat was the perfect base for us. Well decorated, well located, well furnished, well equipped and all in a brilliant host! Would highly recommend!
