Three friends/colleagues and I stayed in Lex's apartment for three nights during a stopover in Dublin on our way to a work meeting in Edinburgh. We had a wonderful time. The apartment is funky (clearly furnished by someone who knows something about design) and located in a very vibrant neighborhood. We didn't have to walk far to find things to do, particularly in the evening. Lex is extremely friendly and personable, so much so that he joined us one evening when we were out for drinks (hanging out with airbnb host is not something I would ordinarily do, but Lex ended up being like a friend). It was a fun night and learned a great deal about the music scene in Dublin and life in Ireland. Things we liked best in the neighborhood - all of which were recommended by Lex - were Sophie's Restaurant, Whellans and O'Donahues. Overall, it was a wonderful stay.
