Dissapointing and no breakfast served.
Pros:

The location of the property is great for the Aviva stadium, only 15-20 minutes walk. It is not too far from town with a nice bar just across the street.

Cons:

The property was very warm when we arrived and the oil diffusers were really overpowering. The initial contact from the host was great but then we were told he had to go out and the key was left in the mailbox, and that we would need to wait for someone else to enter/leave the building to be able to get to the mailbox. Not a great start. We did not see the host at all during the stay so did not really know what we could/couldnt use, or how things worked. We were not served any breakfast or contacted about it at all. This is meant to be included so we lost out on the value of what we paid. The bathroom taps need looking at becasue they initially come on slowly but then the water go full blast.

It was not very clear that we were just staying in the hosts spare bedroom from the listing. On Booking.com I would expect to be renting a whole appartment or a room in a B&B or hotel. This was staying in a spare bedroom in the hosts full time property. Reading other reviews on the property (something I wish I did before staying) I am not alone. The host comes across very confromtational in the replies to this as well which would have made me not book had I read them.

Mooie uitvalsbasis voor de stad.
Pros:

De intentie voor een goed ontbijt was aanwezig maar alles was niet onze smaak een echt lekker broodje was er niet. In de Fress Food om de hoek was echt goed brood te koop. Het beleg was dan weer prima. De keuze uit jam en thee was super. Maar yoghurt nemen uit een al geopend pak (door de gastheer gebruikt) vonden wij maar zo zo.

Cons:

Het ontbijtje, de rest was prima.

Goed verblijf gehad in Dublin. Host liet hier en daar wat steken vallen.
Pros:

Het uitzicht beviel het meest. Verder hadden we de beschikking over bijna het gehele appartement. Schoonmaak was in orde. Er is een bushalte op de doorgaande weg vlakbij. Busrit ongeveer 15 minuten tot het centrum. We mochten de chipcard van de host hiervoor gebruiken.

Cons:

Ontbijt werd in eerste instantie vergeten, ondanks de afspraak over de gewenste tijd de dag er voor. Kwam na ons telefoontje een half uur later. Was niet uitgebreid, zoals elders maar verder wel ok. Daarna geen contact meer gehad met de host. Wel gebeld en een bericht ingesproken met betrekking tot het ontbijt de volgende dag, hoe de sleutel achter te laten en dat het slot van de centrale deur beneden niet meer functioneerde. Daar geen respons meer op gehad. Voor deze prijs per nacht hadden we toch wat meer "care" verwacht.

A nice clean apartment and our host was very helpful. Also a lovely breakfast provided.
Pros:

It was a lovely view and not too far to walk from the bus stop from the airport. Clean accommodation and our host was pleasant and helpful.

Cons:

The water wasn’t so hot in the bathroom on the evening but probably something to do with the boiler.
