Shane and Sarah are fantastic hosts! They were very kind and welcoming, and stayed in contact to answer questions and make sure everything was going well! I can't say enough about this location, it's literally perfect! Temple bar is right out the back door essentially and more fun and local hangouts on the other side of the street. We walked to all of the iconic locations from this flat with no trouble at all! My only minor remark is that it was pretty warm during our stay and there were no fans or AC, making it a bit stuffy and hot in the house. But, apparently the weather we had was very rare for Dublin, so I wouldn't let that sway you away!
