Michael was a great host - although we never met him in person, he communicated quickly, was flexible about our check-in and check-out times and liaised with us over the phone re: check-in. The studio was clean and he also provided some nice extras such as a hairdryer. The studio is a ten minute walk from the train station at Clonsilla, which was why we chose to stay there and there is a garage nearby. Micheal said there was a supermarket nearby too although we didn't have a chance to check this out. It is a quiet, residential area which suited us as we were staying in Dublin for work although if you prefer to stay in a place with a bit more buzz about it then you should bear this in mine. My only reservations about this studio was that there did seem to be a rather serious issue with damp. I think if you were staying for a couple of nights you'd be absolutely fine but as we were staying for 6 nights and I'm asthmatic it exacerbated my symptoms considerably so I wouldn't stay there again. The bed wasn't particularly comfortable either. As I said though, Michael was a communicative and flexible host and the property is close to the train so if you're staying for a short break and aren't asthmatic then you may not have any issues at all.
