After seeing numerous good reviews and noting the central location of the AirBnB we booked with Michael. After this I enquired as to the best method of transport from the airport to the city, to which I got a blunt “taxi” response. I disregarded this as some people aren’t extensive messengers and the question had been answered short and to the point. Upon arrival in Dublin we were informed by locals that there were actually cheaper alternatives such as bus, coach or tram. This would have been helpful to have known in advance from the host. On the day of arrival I messaged asking about an earlier check-in than 4pm, potentially 2/3 but said obviously it was okay if this was not possible - at 5:37am and 10:54am. Neither of these messages were responded to by 12 midday. I then informed the host at 12:09 that we were in the Smithfield area and ready to check in at his earliest convenience. At 1:51, after no contact, the host informed me he was ready now and asked if we were we near. Obviously as we had not heard anything we just assumed a 4pm check-in, and so had sat down in a local pub for a drink. I informed the host I would finish my drink and then come by, a 5 minute walk, to which we were told he would be gone in 10 minutes. With such short notice we had to leave one person with our drinks whilst me and my nan rushed to the AirBnB. We got checked in and assumed from then on everything would be fine. A hairdryer, listed on the amenity list, could not be found. I asked Michael where this was at 4:10pm on the Tuesday to which he responded at 9:13am on the Wednesday. I informed him that the hairdryer was not anywhere to be found in the locations he had stated and consequently we had to go out and buy one. Over 24hours later this message has remained un responded to. Also, there were extensive works occurring outside the accommodation from early hours throughout the day causing plenty of noise and disrupting our sleep. This was not disclosed by Michael. The AirBnB floor was unclean, leaving a thick layer of dust, hair and general mess on the bottom of our feet when we walked around. Due to the positives of the AirBnB such as location things like the hairdryer and the dirty floor could have been ignored but Michael was unresponsive and not particularly helpful. An additional thing to note is that the flat below were smoking weed every evening and the smell infiltrated the room. I’m not one to leave a negative review normally, especially in light of so many good ones, but considering the money spent on this trip away it did not feel up to scratch - especially compared to my prior experiences with other AirBnB hosts used as a comparison.
