Ann Maria was very pleasant to talk to and helpful with the informations about neighbourhood and how to get around Dublin. We had a warm welcome and Ann Marie`s kids shared some of the trick or treating loot with our kids. Even though she later had to rush to the hospital with her sick child she took care of the few of our needs. The apartmant was cosy and very clean. Kitchen is good enough to prepare simple dishes if you`re staying for longer period. We had our privacy with no annoyance from the outside (neighbours, traffic...) so we slept well.

Ann Maria is a excellent host. We had an amazing stay. The apartment was very clean and cosy. Great recommendations on where to eat and things to do around the neighborhood. We found ourselves a hidden gem in Dublin. We're definitely staying here again.
