Review of Ronan’s place
I spent a week at Ronan’s house over Christmas with my husband and my adult children and spouses and all in all it was a disappointing experience.
We had difficulty accessing the property and I suggest that Ronan improves instructions, they may seem clear to someone familiar with the property but not to a first time visitor.
While spacious and well located the house is grubby and there is a general feeling of neglect.
It’s the first time I’ve stayed in an Airbnb in Dublin without a Christmas Tree so that was a big disappointment.
There are insufficient dishes, glasses and cutlery (2 mismatched wine glasses just don’t cut it!).
Providing a single tea towel for a week is simply unacceptable.
The house is listed for 8 people in 4 double bedrooms but there are only 6 chairs.
The heating was aleatory and the place was a bit cold. There is plenty of hot water but in the kitchen it is literally scorching.
The beds are ok, nothing special. The duvets on two of the beds were too small for bed size.
The top floor bathrooms smell unpleasant. The host advised that this was not an issue and merely required some water in system. Unfortunately it persisted and in fact these odours have been reported on a number of occasions in previous reviews.
The en suite on the top floor street side bedroom had no hot water in shower and the heating did not work.
This house does not merit the « luxury » label.
