We stayed for one week in James' apartment in Dalkey. James is a friendly host and it was easy to communicate with him. His apartment is ideally situated just a few minutes from the main street of Dalkey village. As positives, the living room is charming, the TV has the sky stations and the bed in the bedroom is very comfortable. As negatives, the spiral staircase was not ideal with a baby (we should have spotted this in the photos prior to booking), and the apartment was reasonably clean but not spotless. There was also a draft in the bedroom mainly due to a window left open on the roof. Overall, James' apartment is nice but as parents of a 5-month old, it wasn't ideal for our situation.
