Brian's place was exactly what I needed- a centrally located apartment that was clean, private, and well priced.
Check in was easy- I arranged a time beforehand that suited both of us, and was given all the essential information regarding the apartment and the local dining and transportation tips. Brian steered me in the right direction for what i was looking for that evenings meal- a well priced, delicious kabob place around the corner called Zaytoon- highly recommended. The apartment itself is on a quiet residential street, but right around the corner are some of the best local bars and restaurants in Dublin. The touristy area of Temple bar is about a 10 minute walk.
The room and bathroom were up date, had perfect temperature controls, a Nespresso maker, fruit, water, granola bars, soap, towels, etc.
To sum up, it was a great Airbnb experience with a kind and helpful host- thanks Brian!
