Spent 28 nights on 5 Barrow Street. Liked this bright room at first sight: clean B&W bed sheet with classic stripe pattern, plenty of space in the room but also feel cozy at the same time, the wardrobe is functional (with hangers) and the two Chest of Drawers give lots of room to store stuffs as well!!
Moreover, hairdryer, washing machine and warm tea are provided which add a lot of HOME feel for a girl's long working stay! Sometimes share the bathroom with 1 or 2 others but it’s always clean!!! You notice the host tidy up the bathroom frequently, changes toilet papers and bin very often. Additionally, the shower place is spacious, and there's a handle on the wall which is very thoughtful :) Personally love having good showers with right temperature and powerful shower head. This place just made me enjoy showers even more :P Plus! There’s an adorable window on top of the bathroom which welcomes plenty of fresh air :P
In terms of hospitality, what surprised me was Lorenzo is not only extremely kind, welcoming and caring, but also he's a very bright and good looking man! He asked guests if we need to turn the heating on when the weather felt like skipping autumn. While when he cycled us to Howth, walked us to River Liffey and experienced traditional Irish live music in town, he also explained the story behind each historical place! I talked about how great the host is to all my colleagues and friends in & outside Dublin. They become interested in visiting Dublin and meeting the host now!
I used to use #lovedublin when post pictures on Instagram, that was because I expected my photos could go up to the top selection. However, I mean it when I type #lovedublin now.
Thank you very much Lorenzo and Angela!! A place is only meaningful when great people are there. Best regards, Cherry
