Everything was absolutely amazing. The host was very humble about the location - the apartment is located in the most posh area in Dublin (people are genuinely impressed, when you mention where are you staying). This was the first time me and my partner stayed in an apartment, where a host is present, and, frankly, this was the best decision we could have made. Both the inside and surroundings of the apartment are absolutely gorgeous - views outside any of the windows are amazing. The apartment is quite large for such a central location. Karim is one of the nicest and kindest persons I have ever met in my life, during our 2 week stay we managed to have countless of thought provoking conversations - we really enjoyed his company. Karim is always ready to give any recommendations, whether it's for sightseeing, restaurants or anything else.
There is a safe underground parking in the apartment, which Karim kindly offered us to use. Karim was constantly working late and starting early, which resulted us in feeling that the apartment was basically left to ourselves. The space was perfect for remote working, which we did for the full length of our stay (monitor, coffee machine, desk for work).
We checked in very late in the night, and the process was very easy and we were greeted with much needed drinking water after the flight and some treats. The room had all the necessities. There is a massive TV in the room - we couldn't stop watching it.
We stayed at Karim's apartment as a stepping stone for us, as we were settling in finding our apartment in Dublin. He helped us with recommendations for our landlord, never hesitated to share his opinion on areas around Dublin and specific apartments, which we showed to him. He convinced us to make certain decisions, which resulted in getting an amazing apartment in Dun Laoghaire.
I cannot recommend enough for people to stay with Karim, he is an awesome host and a truly amazing person.
