This was my very first time using Airbnb and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out! I travel quite a bit for work, and it gets very lonely and impersonal always staying in a hotel. Ann made me feel like a friend; she offered me tea and a scone, gave me a very helpful suggestions on what I could find in town, how to ring a taxi, how to get to the venue where my event was, and even where to buy nice souvenirs :-) she was such good company that I was very sad to leave. I also really enjoyed meeting the other guests. Her house is beautifully decorated, with a delightful little garden outside that lights up at night. I stayed in the smallest bedroom, which was perfect for me; I was welcome to sit downstairs at the kitchen table or in the den anytime I wanted to, but I still had my own little private space. It was the best of all worlds! I would highly recommend staying with Ann if you are staying in the Dublin area.
