Mark and Tahra could not have been kinder or more responsive hosts. They were available throughout the week to answer questions as they came up, and their recommendations were helpful and thoughtful. We never waited to hear from Mark--he was in touch immediately whenever we contacted him through Airbnb. And we loved the laminated sheets throughout the apartment--so great not to wonder how anything worked or what local pubs and restaurants to try.

The apartment was perfect--just as advertised and filled with great resources (hooray for extra guidebooks and maps!). What made the space even better for us (a family of four with two teenage children) was that each room had a door, which made the apartment feel more spacious and gave people privacy when they needed it (very important when one lives with teenagers!).

We loved the location--close to Trinity and the train (which we took for a day out of the city center). We could walk to amazing sites easily, and yet the street felt private (it is between two larger streets). The train, which other reviewers noted, does go outside the apartment, but we did not find it loud or obtrusive.

We would highly recommend this lovely flat and hosts. It was a great experience and a terrific way to way to settle into Dublin. Thank you to Mark and Tahra!
