Ronan was an excellent host - he was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly. The first morning we were there he messaged me to check and see how we were doing, and if we needed anything - it is something that more Airbnb hosts should do. Also, Ronan left us a bottle of wine, coffee pods, biscuits, milk, orange juice, and a large container of water, which was a very nice touch. To think of these small things really goes a long way with an Airbnb guest.
The location is in an average neighborhood for Dublin, but we never felt unsafe. It is one of the few Airbnb’s in Dublin that offers free parking (Ronan leaves you parking passes for the street). The walk to the Dublin city center can be a bit of a hike, averaging 20 to 25 minutes of walking to arrive in the middle of the center (for example, it’s a twenty minute walk to Temple Bar). It can be exhausting to walk all that way after a long day of sight-seeing just to go to dinner, but not unreasonable.
There is a bedroom and bathroom upstairs and another set downstairs, so it was nice to have the separate space and privacy for two people. The beds were not the most comfortable beds in the world, but after a long day I did not really care. It may be more important to someone with back issues, though.
