Andrew was a very accommodating and nice guy who made me feel very welcome in his home from the second I walked in. He also woke up very early to enable me to drop my luggage off super early in the morning before check in which was very helpful. He was full of recommendations and assistance with directions among other things. He was also very generous with sharing food and items he had in his kitchen. He even cooked dinner one night!

The apartment is cozy and comfortable with a shower that never seems to run out of hot water (I take longgg showers…) The bedroom is basic and comfortable, and was perfect for what I needed. The bed was a bit springy and soft for me (I have a bad back), but I adjusted to it by the 2nd night. The fruit market is also directly across the street and is noisy with moving trucks/forks picking up and dropping boxes of produce beginning as early as 4am. However I only know this from staying out late one night as Andrew provides superb earplugs that completely blocked all sound out. I was impressed with how well they worked as I am a very sensitive sleeper, but slept right through the sound while wearing them on nights where I went to bed earlier.

The actual location was great as I could walk to most places I was interested in visiting in under 10 minutes. The flat is also located close to a tram station which is helpful for getting to the larger train station for tours, as well as the airlink bus stop that takes you to the airport. The actual street is very quiet with not much around which is relaxing in the evening. You only need to walk 2-3 minutes to be on a larger road with a groceries, bars, and other stores. Then continue a few more minutes and you will run into major attractions within the city center of Dublin.

Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and I'd stay at Andrews place again:)
