Such a fantastic apartment and Shane was the perfect host! In the lead up to our stay, Shane replied quickly to messages and was extremely helpful in answering all our questions. Check-in instructions were very clear and Shane kindly recommended places to eat nearby as well as suggestions of what to do and see in Dublin. During our stay, we asked for a suggestion of where to watch the local rugby match and Shane replied very quickly with his recommendation and even phoned the pub to check they were showing the match. He really went above and beyond!
The apartment itself is exactly as pictured. On arrival, Shane had left us a welcome note and gifts which was so kind and really added a personal touch. He's been very thorough and labelled things throughout the house so it's clear what switches are for what. In terms of location, it was perfect for getting around the city and is very close to the 747 bus route which takes you to and from the airport.
Bedrooms: the beds are comfortable and plenty of cupboard space and coat hangers
Bathroom: great shower/bath, lots of storage (ideal for those on a longer holiday/break), lots of towels provided, toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash and soap)
Kitchen: very well equipped and it was really handy having a washer and dryer in the flat (ideal for those on a longer holiday/break)
Living room/dining room: plenty of space, comfortable sofas, lots of leaflets of things to do in Dublin, guest book with recommendations and instructions for all appliances, the Wi-Fi is really good and having sky TV was really handy
Overall, I'd absolutely recommend Shane's place and will be back on my next visit to Dublin!
