SHARED FLAT, Dublin

The location is central to Dublin's historic and cultural core, with the Irish Whiskey Museum and St Patrick's Cathedral both 700 metres away. Dublin Airport is 10 km from the property. The surrounding streets are packed with restaurants, pubs, and cafes, including The Porterhouse Temple Bar, Pinocchio Italian Restaurant, and several coffee shops just around the corner - perfect for breakfast or coffee. Despite being in the lively Temple Bar district, the flat itself is quiet, offering a calm retreat after exploring the city centre on foot.

The room includes a comfortable double bed, slippers, and plenty of storage space. The shared bathroom is kept clean and includes a shower. The kitchen is shared and equipped with cookware, utensils, and an electric kettle - useful for light meal preparation. The room is larger than expected for a homestay, with thoughtful extras like water in the fridge and a coffee machine with capsules. Heating is provided, and the building has a lift. The shared nature of the flat (two bedrooms, one bathroom) means it is best suited for solo travellers or couples comfortable sharing facilities with the host and possibly other guests.

The flat does not provide meals, but the shared kitchen allows simple food preparation. For dining out, Temple Bar offers countless options within 300 metres: Pinocchio Italian Restaurant, The Porterhouse (pub and restaurant), F.X. Buckley Steakhouse, and Zampas, among others. Several excellent cafes and coffee shops are just around the corner, ideal for breakfast. The host often provides coffee capsules and a fridge for guest use, making it easy to start the day before heading out to explore.

Security features include 24-hour security, CCTV outside the property, smoke alarms, and fire extinguishers. Access is via key. The host allows luggage drop before check-in and after check-out, though the room may not be ready early. No Wi-Fi or internet access is available - a key consideration for those needing connectivity. There is no on-site parking, but free street parking (19:00-07:00) is nearby, and paid car parks are a short walk away. The flat is on a floor served by a lift. No pets are allowed. The host is responsive and flexible, especially regarding arrival times and luggage storage.
