Wochende in Dublin

Das Wochende hat uns Männern gut gefallen. Die Lage des Hauses war 10 Minuten vom Zentrum entfernt und somit alles fussläufig zu erreichen. Leider ist das Haus schon in die Jahre gekommen und es sollte etwas saniert werden. Bad müsste erneuert werden und die Toilettenspülung war nicht in Ordnung. Der Gastgeber war sehr freundlich.

Family stay in Dublin

We loved John’s home. We had 6 adults and one baby and we all had plenty of room. We loved the unique character of this older building. Thank you, John. Kathleen

Great location

The history on the flat is wonderful and it is well placed between the airport and within a mile of most tourist attractions. The property manager reached out several times to check on us and give suggestions for nearby places to visit that were not as touristy. The neighborhood was dirty but not sure I could take a star off for that since the seagulls are to blame, kind of. I did take one star off for the mattresses. We all woke up daily with pain in our backs. Overall we all had a wonderful time.

Wonderful property and a fantastic host!

John was a fantastic host. He was flexible with us about check in and allowed us to drop bags off a few hours early after a long day of travel and an overnight flight. We decided to rent cars a day early before really thinking about where we’d park, and when I asked John about it he had guest passes for us at the ready. On check out day, I locked myself out without taking my car keys (like an idiot), and John met me at the apartment and helped look for the keys and was very zen and accommodating during a quite stressful moment for me and my family. The house itself is historic and cute, and is in a neighborhood of row house dating back to the mid 19th century. John's tasteful selection of art and furniture (many from his own travels) were interesting and made the place feel like a real home. It is located a short walk from the light rail and with a visitor leap card this place is perfect. You can get to the hustle and bustle of downtown in a few minutes, but don't suffer the load and rowdy noise of staying in the touristy bits of city center / Temple Bar. The bedrooms were nice, roomy, and comfortable. The bathroom was nice and large too. Two bathrooms would have been nice considering we were six in number but it’s an old property so completely understandable. We would definitely stay here again, and will be telling our friends about this gem. Thanks John!

Location, Location and Location

My husband and I stayed a month. We walked everywhere. John was there to greet us on the first day and he was so accommodating. He actually brought us on a tour of the neighborhood on the second day. Anytime we had a question or a problem he helped us. We have been coming to Dublin for years and we never had the opportunity to explore this side of the city.
