This was the first leg of our stay in Europe for our honeymoon and it was lovely. Very hospitable and communicative hosts, great location and very comfy space! Also, we loved the Bite of Life cafe across the street for breakfast and coffee! Highly recommend!Ellen2016-06-03T00:00:00Z
The flat has a perfect situation in the city center and with a beautiful view of the St Patrick's cathedral. Everything is easy to acess with the bus of by walking ;-) Even if we haven't meet Daragh, he was available. We had a great time in Dublin!Julien2014-11-16T00:00:00Z
Daragh and his Dad were great hosts, very welcoming and have lots of local knowledge. All arrangements were easy . The apartment is light and nicely decorated. It's positioned really well with easy walking access to all Dublins delights. Highly recommended.May2014-01-22T00:00:00Z
Daragh met us when we drove into Dublin. We were earlier than the agreed upon time but he met us in the lane. The cleaners were still finishing up so he took us for a bit of an orientation of the neighbourhood. He set us up with a list of local restaurants and shops that were very helpful and he left maps and other resources that enhanced our stay. We couldn't be happier with our experience.Ben2014-12-26T00:00:00Z
Darragh was really helpful keeping in touch leading up to and whilst visiting his lovely apartment. Located perfectly, we were able to walk easily to everything we wanted to see. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Dublin, thanks Darragh.James2015-02-19T00:00:00Z
Great stay- clean centrally located apartment. I will stay here again. Excellent!Steven2015-09-02T00:00:00Z
We had a great time staying here! The apartment was a good size, had all the amenities and is in an ideal location to explore the city. Daragh was great at keeping in touch with us before and during our stay. Would recommend for anyone wanting to explore Dublin.Peter2016-11-02T00:00:00Z
The Appartement is located right in the heart of Dublin, right across St. Patricks cathedral. And therefore it is an easy walk to all sights in the city. Communication with Daragh was easy, he responded quickly and collecting the keys was perfectly arranged. Daragh explained the appartement and had some good advice where to dine and on good pubs. Definitely a place to visit for a second time!Mario2016-09-01T00:00:00Z

Ich war mit 4 Freundinnen zu Gast bei Anastazio. Die Wohnung ist wirklich sehr schön,sauber und entspricht der Beschreibung und Fotos. Anastazio erweist sich hilfsbereit und er ist ein guter fröhlicher Gastgeber. Unser Dublin Trip wurde durch manchen Tipp von Anastazio bereichert. Allerdings würde ich nicht als frisch verliebtes Pärchen dort wohnen wollen, da man dann sich etwas mehr Privatsphäre wünscht. Aber, für uns 4 Damen war es perfekt. wir hatten eine harmonische Wohngemeinschaft und unser lieber Gastgeber hatte sogar für uns was Leckeres gekocht. Fazit: es war super!!!!Barbara 2015-05-11T00:00:00Z
Anastazio runs a smooth operation with good knowledge of the working of Airbnb, should you have any questions. He cares about his Guests and will be hands-on or hands-off, depending on your needs. Thanks for making us feel Welcome and being a great Host.Robye2015-10-10T00:00:00Z
Anastasio was a great host! He was very friendly, always around, helped us with any questions we had about how to get places and what to do. He was a delight and his apartment is beautiful!!Ava2015-08-07T00:00:00Z
Anastazio is a perfect host- if you need him he's there. No questions asked. He accommodated us in so many big and small ways that I cannot thank him enough. The place itself matched the host- awesome. Spacious and cozy as well as more than adequate for everything you may need.Brennan2015-09-29T00:00:00Z
The apartment was exactly as it is pictured; it was absolutely beautiful. There is a bus service a few blocks away that will take you into town within 10 mins, but we mostly used taxi service during our stay. The taxi was usually no more than 9 euro to get to a from the apartment - not bad, and it proved to be a very good way to learn more about Dublin - by asking the taxi drivers their favorite places to eat/drink/shop. Anastazio was very welcoming and helpful, just as the other reviews said. All accommodations were very comfortable, and I really just can't get over how beautiful the apartment was! Definitely book with Anastazio if you are planning a trip to Dublin.Stephanie2014-09-21T00:00:00Z
Excellent modern accommodations. Anastasio was a gracious host.Ryan2016-07-08T00:00:00Z
Anastazio is a wonderful host. The appartement was everything we hoped for. We spent 4 nice days in Dublin!ann2014-09-17T00:00:00Z
Three old university friends and I decided to take the long journey over from London for a weekend of cultural enrichment and introspective self-discovery on the historical cobbled streets of Dublin. Or in other words, the rugby was on and we had bars to visit. We traipsed into the apartment long after midnight on a freezing cold Friday evening and were immediately greeted by our graceful Greek host Anastazio who sat us down, made us coffee, poured us drinks, got us set up with Uber (saved us €40 doing so!) and then pointed us in the direction of the best clubs in Dublin. It was the perfect start to a far too short weekend and Anastazio made us feel completely at home from the very first minute. The apartment itself is very trendy, neat and stylish and is in a great location being based near Croke Park and within walking distance from the Town Centre. All the modern conveniences are there including an awesome sound-system and a wide-screen TV replete with DVD's if you fancy a quiet night in (we didn't!). The sofa's are huge and very comfortable to sleep on and Anastazio went out of his way to make them up into beds for us on both nights so you shouldn't have any concerns there. A word on the host too, no doubt as you will have read on countless other reviews of this apartment by now Anastazio is an outstanding character in many ways. He really embodies the hospitality, humour, helpfulness and humility that are the core tenets of hosting on AirBnB and I can't possibly send enough praise in his direction for the hugely positive impact he had on our weekend. We were actually supposed to meet Anastazio in town on the Saturday night but one of our numbers succumbed to one pint of Guinness too many and so we had to go back early. For that we're still kicking ourselves and hope to go over again to make it right soon :) So thanks to Anastazio for looking after us in his wonderful apartment and making our weekend an even more memorable one. I couldn't recommend staying here more highly. 10/10(URL HIDDEN)Alex2015-03-02T00:00:00Z

Sabrina was a very welcoming host who was always ready to drop by in case we needed help with something. She even got us the ingredients to make Irish breakfast. The apartment was cosy and clean. No complaints whatsoever. Location was also excellent!Farid2016-06-28T00:00:00Z
Sabrina was a fantastic host for my son and my stay in Dublin. She was friendly, communicative, reliable and her apartment was everything she said it would be -at a great value! The building is a very convenient and easy walk to everything in central Dublin. I would recommend staying here to anyone and will be back the next time I come to Dublin for sure.Jim2016-11-02T00:00:00Z
This is a great place to stay if you want to visit Dublin with none of the hastle of having to figure out how to get around. You are within walking distance of all big sites, but you're far enough away from Temple Bar that you don't have to put up with all of the noise. Sabrina was a terrific host! She was easy to reach if we needed any help, and was even nice enough to stock the kitchen with all of the fixings for an Irish breakfast.James and Emma2016-10-23T00:00:00Z
Absolutely fantastic. First time to Dublin, not a clue where anything was or where to go. Trust me if you are like me this is the perfect apartment, it is the best location to see everything in Dublin, I hate walking too far and here I never had to. Shopping, bus lines, pubs, restaurants, everything you need was on the doorstep, yet being in the apartment was peaceful and restful. Ali met us right outside, then showed us where to go and how to get there, they were so helpful and kind, they even gave us the ingredients for an Irish breakfast! I will definitely visit Dublin again and I wouldn't stay anywhere other than this apartment! Fantastic.esther2016-04-17T00:00:00Z
This was a great place to stay if you're looking for something right in the center of downtown Dublin. It was a really cute place and we were wishing we could have stayed more than just one night! It had all the basic necessities and was a cozy place.Amber2015-06-23T00:00:00Z

Dardo was incredibly prompt in his responses, super friendly, and so helpful leading up to the trip! We met with his friend, Maria, when we arrived, and she was super nice too! The apartment had everything we needed, and the location was unbeatable. Thank you, Dardo and Maria, for your hospitality and help!Claire2016-07-06T00:00:00Z
Dardo ha sido un anfitrión excepcional, atento y respondiendo de inmediato a los mensajes aún de viaje. María, encantadora, nos abrió el apartamento, y nos enseño los truquillos de la casa. El piso está preparado con todo: toallas extra, champú, diferentes tés e infusiones, café, mermeladas, pan....prácticamente como en casa! Además, pudimos disfrutar de un día soleado en Dublin con esos ventanales, el ambiente de la casa se volvió todavía más acogedor. Las vistas, las mejores de la ciudad. Si llueve, la selección de libros, películas y series, todo un puntazo! 100% recomendable.Paloma2016-03-26T00:00:00Z
Dardo's place was amazing. A beautiful and efficiently designed apartment, clean, simple, and…location, location, location!! Although a bit loud at night, nothing a good bottle of wine, whisky and/or ear plugs can't fix, this spot was just perfect for our 2day/night pass through Dublin. Dardo was so accommodating and easily contacted, he even came out to the street to find us knowing we were a bit out of sorts and…well, lost, quite frankly. He immediately recognized the disoriented tourists and graciously introduced himself and escorted us to the apartment. A quick run through of the apartment, an easy explanation on how to navigate the city, suggestions for food and touring, Dardo is a very obliging guide to this fabulous city.Alice2015-11-12T00:00:00Z
One of my favorite listings on Airbnb so far! The location is super central and the amenities in the apartment are plentiful. We had absolutely everything we needed/wanted. More importantly, Dardo is a fantastic host. He was so accommodating and readily available. When I come back to Dublin, I will want to stay here again!Chele2014-12-14T00:00:00Z
Really fantastic apartment--even better than the photos. We went home full of ideas for a total apartment makeover and his library of travel guides gave us lots of ideas for our next trip. The space looks super minimal but everything you could need is tucked away behind clever cabinet drawers. It's a nice, chill crashpad above busyness of downtown Dublin. It's not a quiet neighborhood though, so bring earplugs. Dardo met us outside, showed us the apartment, gave us the lowdown on the neighborhood, and had tons of great recommendations for food and drinks and sightseeing. He was instantly available via AirBnB text when we had questions. We'd definitely stay here again. (We loved The Winding Stair for dinner, and Forest Avenue's family-style Sunday set menu was fantastic. Highly recommended!)Jeff2015-12-03T00:00:00Z
This place literally overlooks the Ha'Penny bridge. Extremely centrally located. Less than 15 min walk to most things in Dublin. I think the Guinness storehouse was about a 30 min walk. The apt. has an open floor plan with a nice modern feel and bathroom as well. Parking is hard if you have rented a car. If you park in the car lot over night make sure you pay the attendant and not use the automated machine. We got screwed doing this. The black bed/couch in the picture is also a little hard to sleep on. Great stay though. The apt. also has an elevator and multiple security doors to get through. Definitely recommend a stay.RYAN2017-03-21T00:00:00Z
The apartment was really nice, clean and in a good location. Just what we had been looking for. Temple Bar is just across the river! The best thing about the apartment was our host Dardo though, he was always available, very accommodating, gave us advice on where to go, what to do and made us feel very welcome. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend staying thereolga2014-04-14T00:00:00Z
Fantastic apartment!!!! Central location, spacious, comfortable, clean, and outfitted with everything needed by a traveler.

Vi var ønsket velkommen fra hyggelig vert Ali. Irsk frokost i kjøleskapet til neste morgen var en hyggelig overraskelse. Leiligheten var fin, med alt vi trengte men egentlig ikke plass til 6 personer, det ble madrass på gulvet til en. Jeg syns vi betalte mye for den standarden på leiligheten, veldig nedslitt bad, mye bråk fra gaten som gikk utover nattesøvn til de som sov på den siden. Sovesofaen i stuen egner seg til flere overnattinger. Dårlig lås på inngangs døren som føltes litt utrygg. Beliggenheten var flott i forhold til handlegate, men vi hadde en hyggelig helg i Dublin. Leiligheten passer bedre for unge mennesker som skal på byen ig ikke for familie med barnMaria2015-12-06T00:00:00Z
Leilegheita var supert plassert og topp for vårt formål. Sabrina var ein utmerka vert! Også når det oppstod eit problem med varmtvatnet og det vart lekkasje - på ein laurdags ettermiddag.... - var ho raskt på pletten og ordna opp.Sigrun Høgetveit2016-04-04T00:00:00Z
Wij hebben genoten van Sabrina's appartement. Het ligt heel centraal om Dublin te ontdekken. Alles wat je nodig hebt is aanwezig. Het is schoon. En wat een leuke attentie om een full irish breakfast te maken , stonden er toast, bacon, sausages en eggs klaar! Top dus!Marjolein2016-07-16T00:00:00Z

Nous avons passé 5 jours dans le logement proposé par Sabrina & Ali. L'accueil a été sympathique et Sabrina & Ali se sont montrés disponibles. Le logement était propre à notre arrivée et Ali a bien pris le temps de nous expliquer quelques détails sur le logement et de nous renseigner sur les visites à faire pendant notre séjour. Merci pour tout. NicolasNicolas2015-12-27T00:00:00Z
My family and I (Husband, Mother, Brother, Sister-in-law, 1yr old nephew) stayed at Sabrina's for 10 days around the Easter Holidays. Mom slept on the sofa bed in the communal area so we were sharing a lot of space, but it worked really well for us. The apartment is incredibly well located and very central (steps from the Ha'penny bridge, around the corner from the red line of Luas, close to grocery shops and good restaurants) which makes getting out and about very easy. It also means there is potential for street noise, especially around the weekend as people head to and from Temple Bar area. It was never an outrageous issue for any of us, but the noise sensitive would likely want ear plugs. The apartment itself had everything you would want and is really nicely put together with a lot of thought and care. Sabrina was easily accesible, and very helpful. A wonderful host. We would all recommend staying at Sabrina's.Juliana2016-03-29T00:00:00Z
Location of this place is fantastic and you won't find a nicer host. However, if you are looking for clean and functioning amenities I might suggest choosing another location. Our bathroom had clogged sinks and a more than finicky shower which forced us to take three second spray of water to soap and repeatedly turn the faucet on and off several times to rinse. (there may be a trick to this shower but we were not informed). Also, when we went to lie down for the evening we turned down our bed covers to discover what I can only explain as already been slept in sheets. Aside from this the location was fantastic, host was on time and accommodating.Michelle2017-04-25T00:00:00Z
The house was really central end easy to get wherever you want, there is no car park for free in the area so you have to walk 20 minutes to get free parking close to the business area of dublin, the house was pretty good, we have booked it just a week before getting there, we had trouble with the shower as noticed by others guest, but for five guys it was a pretty good choice because of the position. Sabrina was very good and handsome with us, i would rate the vacation 8/10, and im sure that when sabrina will fix the bathroom and some other little things in the house it will be a 10/10!Davide2017-05-05T00:00:00Z

Nice apartment that is well appointed and in a great location. Definitely lots to do within a short walk! Noise can be a problem if you are a light sleeper but it was easily remedied with some ear plugs. Check in went smoothly and the place was easy to find. This was my first airbnb experience and it was certainly a positive one. Thanks so much Garrett!Chad2015-09-17T00:00:00Z
We had a great stay in Dublin! The apartment is cozy, well-appointed, and in a perfect location for exploring all the sights of Dublin by foot. Directly across from Dublin castle and nearby great shopping, restaurants, and bars. Garrett was a great host - very friendly and even met us a little early! I would recommend Garrett's place to anyone spending a few days or longer in Dublin.Anne2014-07-07T00:00:00Z
Garrett was the perfect host for our family of 5 in that he was readily accessible when needed, but he also was prompt to turn over his space and let us begin our exploration of Dublin. We turned our car into the airport and took a cab to Garrett's. Once there, the location was SO convenient. It was fun each morning to wake up to the magnificent buildings and sights of the Temple Bar area.Dan2015-07-11T00:00:00Z
Garrett's apartment was everything noted in the other reviews and more. The location is ideal, you can walk to all of the major sites in the city and tons of restaurants and bars. We were traveling with our two young girls (infant and toddler) and everyone one was able to have their own room since Garrett got a portable crib for us in the living room. We had an afternoon flight and he was kind enough to let us store some luggage so we could explore the city. I cannot recommend it enough and don't know why anyone, especially a family, would stay anywhere else in Dublin.Chris2015-06-20T00:00:00Z

Anita was a great host, even going so far as to offer us breakfast and a ride in the morning. The room was comfortable and clean.Chelsea2017-04-05T00:00:00Z
She is really nice, the place is perfect and clean, it's far from the center but with bus it's more or less half an hour. She really help us a lot with all!Berta2017-04-23T00:00:00Z
She has a comfortable and perfect place to stay! Its right by the bus stop, theres a little market for any of your needs exactly across the street, and we had a secured parking space so we didn't have to worry. Plus there were 3 different restaurant just a block away, all with great food. She is an excellent host and really a very ideal spot as the bus stop in front of the place takes you right to city center, where all the best sightseeing places are.Suzie2017-04-03T00:00:00Z
Le logement d'Anita était très bien, la chambre confortable et les parties communes propres. Les transports en communs (bus et train) sont proches et permettent d'être dans Dublin centre en 20 min. Un Centra est juste en face de la maison pour faire de petites courses et un grand parc est juste à côté. Anita est une hôte attentive (merci pour la crème pour mon pied gonflé) et nous a permis de passer un super séjour, merci beaucoup.Mélissandre2017-04-16T00:00:00Z

Klaudia's space was beautiful, and it was the perfect fit for three people. Her home is close to the airport, so it was a convenient final stop for us before heading out of Ireland. One thing to note if you're driving to this neighborhood in the dark: The street signs are very hard to see! If I were to go back, I would go when it's still a bit light out.Ashley2017-03-27T00:00:00Z

Das geschmackvoll und praktisch eingerichtete Zimmer und wunderschöne Bad befinden sind bei einer sehr netten, unkomplizierten Famile samt Hund in ruhiger Wohngegend. Die Fahrt in die City ist unkompliziert (3- Tageskarte 27€), dauert ca 25 Minuten. Ein Lokal und Lebensmittelgeschäft sind in fußläufiger Entfernung. Ein Haus zum Wohlfühlen.Ute2017-03-05T00:00:00Z

Klaudia, Lennard and the little Laura were the perfect hosts. We arrived after dinner and we had the time to chat with them with a glass of wine. Very friendly, warm and welcoming. Pogo, the dog, is funny and friendly too. The room is really nice, new and very clean. We also had a nice breakfast. Really a place to go.Stefano2016-08-27T00:00:00Z
Klaudia, his husband, Pogo and their girl were lovely. It was amazigne to stay there. The room was luxury with private bathroom. Nice house with beautiful kitchen. I cannot forgot for friendly dog- Pogo :). I hope, that they were happy as well as we. We enjoyed whole visit. Unfortunatelly, we did not have more time for talk. Maybe next year. Love, DanDaniel2016-10-16T00:00:00Z
The place was very nice and quaint. The shower was great! Grace and Laura were there to greet us and they were nice enough to let check in early as our flight got in at 9am. The house is very close to the train, making it easy to get into the city center. We met Klaudia and her husband just before we left and they all offered helpful information. We would definitely recommend staying here to anyone in Dublin!Marriah2017-04-14T00:00:00Z
Great and clean place according with description located in a safe neighborhood, near to the airport (15min by car) but not so close to city center. For us it was not a problem because we had a car but I think that a fast way to reach city center is by train, 5 min far away from the place there is a train station. Klaudia and her family were great hosts and for sure we will stay again here if we return to Dublin.alex2017-04-25T00:00:00Z

We would definitely stay here if we came back, and we highly recommend the place.Andrew2016-06-09T00:00:00Z

La chambre est dans un quartier résidentiel vraiment très proche de l'aéroport et autres commodités.

Aoibhinn and Kenny are so nice! I had a lot of delayed flights getting to Ireland, and they were super helpful with accommodating my ever changing arrival time (which ended up being hours after I was supposed to arrive). They are also easy to get a hold of and responsive, which makes a lot of difference when traveling so far. The room is super cute. Everything is decorated nicely, and is really clean. I would definitely recommend the room, especially if you are looking to crash somewhere clean and comfortable after getting in from traveling a long ways.Caylee2016-07-30T00:00:00Z

I had a fantastic experience at Colette and Billy's home. They are so friendly and engaging and genuinely make you feel welcome. I enjoyed the walks along the seashore and around Howth.Jeremiah2016-10-09T00:00:00Z
La casa è affacciata sul mare (con una sola strada in mezzo) con una splendida vista della baia di Dublino. Ha la fermata dell'autobus a due passi così come è vicina anche la fermata della metro che in pochi minuti ti porta a Dublino. A pochi passi ci sono ristoranti, banche, bar, un supermercato, farmacia. Colette e la sua famiglia è molto disponibile e accogliente. E' stato un piacere alloggiare da loro.Giulio2016-12-04T00:00:00Z
UNFORGETABLE ! The time I spent at Colette and Billy's house was simply the best I ever spend in a airbnb accomodation. You couldn't find more lovely people in all Dublin county ! Colette and Billy are really helpfull, easy going and they love to meet new people. They will show you all the great places around Dublin city and more The house is situation is really amazing, just in front of the sea, close to Howth and some lovely walks in the Howth Peninsula. Only 25min from Dublin center by train wich is perfect to spend a day in the city center. Ideal for a week end or more !Léo2016-09-03T00:00:00Z
I have never experienced such a great welcome to Dublin - Colette was even able to pick me up from the airport the morning I arrived. She was so welcoming into her beautiful home - which always smelled of home cooking and was really warm and comfortable. I cannot recommend this listing enough. It was a fantastic experience all around. I hope that Colette continues to work with Air BnB - I would love to stay with her again.Bridget2016-10-21T00:00:00Z
Couldn't have wished for nicer accomodation or more hospitable hosts than Colette and Billy. Many thanks.Cara2016-11-27T00:00:00Z
It was wonderful corresponding with Colette, she was even more wonderful in person. The house was lovely, roomy and felt open for me to be in any room. The house is beautifully kept even with a peat fireplace. They where so kind to me during my stay. Helpful with all transportation questions and suggestions about towns to visit in Ireland. Beautiful bed linens and breakfast. I had freedom to relax or be apart of what was going on. A perfect distance from Dublin to be able to go in and enjoy the city or to go out to the small village of Howth to enjoy a different pace and hiking.Julie2016-10-16T00:00:00Z
Colette is a wonderful host and her house was too! Very helpful and kind, we couldn't have wished for a better host! Thanks Colette!!!Emilie2017-04-09T00:00:00Z
Colette and Billy are unbelievably friendly and welcoming. I had an outstanding time staying with them this past weekend. Colette was so helpful in providing directions to their home and even picked me up from the train station when I arrived. They showed me around the home and gave me a number of really good recommendations and tips for exploring Howth and Dublin. It's a beautiful home and the room is perfect for a solo traveler. It's very cozy and the bed is very comfortable. I loved getting the chance to explore Howth and go on a beautiful hike around coast and then pop on the bus to explore the city. Colette and Billy made my short stay a really memorable and wonderful experience. One of the highlights of my time in Dublin was chatting and getting to know both of them. So fun, wish I could have stayed longer! I would highly highly recommend staying here during your time in DublinKelly2017-04-16T00:00:00Z

Oisin was a really great host. When we got in, he made sure we had everything we needed in order to be comfortable. My boyfriend and I were never really around but to sleep. We did go back to the apartment in the afternoon and were even invited to hangout with him and his friends. Although we were on a tight schedule since our trip was so short, it was nice to feel included! His place is very central to where you want to be in Dublin and we never got in a taxi once. Definitely recommend this stay.Anna2017-01-22T00:00:00Z
Oisin was a great host - it was not a problem for us to check in early. Oisin and his girlfriend took the time to talk us through where things were in the city and offered us a map. Great location - couldn't fault it. Thanks for having us!Katy2017-02-27T00:00:00Z
They were really nice and kind, helpful. And the location was really cool. Actually Dublin was really small village so easy to around everywhere. But room was little bit small for moving for two people. Les hôtes étaient très gentils et très accueillants. L'appartement était bien placé, Dublin est une ville assez petite, il est donc très facile de tout visiter en peu de temps. Petits points négatifs, la chambre est petite pour deux personnes, et avant de partir les hôtes ne nous ont pas laissé monter pour récupérer nos bagages mais nous les ont apportés en bas de l'immeuble.YongKyu2017-01-17T00:00:00Z

This is a wonderful place to stay for a few nights in the heart of Dublin. A day prior to our arrival Oisin contacted me to arrange our check in and gave precise information to the apartment and how to get there. He was always very responsive and could be contacted easily. They provided us with maps and recommendations our first night. The location itself overlooks the heart of the city and VERY walkable to all the major places in the city including some great restaurants and pubs. The apartment was safe, clean and had all the necessities, the robe and chocolates were a nice touch. Perfect for one-two people traveling. One of the best overall experiences.

My fiancee and I spent two nights with Rory. You really can't beat the location of his place, ideally situated on a quieter street while being in the heart of Temple Bar. Rory was incredibly accommodating. We arrived in the early morning hours before check in, he was easy to contact, and helped by offering to meet us and store our luggage at his office. We definitely recommend his place!Joshua2017-02-22T00:00:00Z
Rory was a fantastic host! He was very welcoming, prepared the place well and gave excellent suggestions for Dublin. The place was in a perfect location, and the building had an elevator (lift), which is not something common in European apartment buildings. The wifi was fast and there were ample electric outlets in the room. Overall a great stay!Spencer2016-08-21T00:00:00Z
Rory is a fantastic host. He is excited to meet new people and help them find their way around the city or answer any questions to help your trip go smoothly. His place is right in the heart of the city, just far away enough from the Temple Bar area to be able to sleep but close enough for a very short walk to anywhere. Overall the whole experience was excellent and when I come back to Dublin I will absolutely stay here. Thanks Rory! MarcMarc2017-04-25T00:00:00Z
Rory was a really great host, and we really enjoyed our stay in Dublin. He offered to take our bags at his office when we arrived so we could go and explore the city in the afternoon. He also recommended an excellent Indian/Nepalese restaurant not far from the apartment! The apartment is situated on the edge of the busier side of Temple Bar, so is really handy for a few pubs and restaurants. We had a lovely 3 day stay in Dublin and would definitely consider going back.Tom2016-10-26T00:00:00Z
Rory's apartment is a great place to stay if you're looking to explore Dublin! The room is comfortable and clean, with a large TV and streaming box, small refrigerator, and umbrellas ready for use.

Netsuke Sentence Examples
- The metallic bowl and mouthpiece of the pipe offered a tempting surface for embellishment, as well as the clasp of the pouch; and the netsuke, being made of wood, ivory or other material susceptible of carving, also gave occasion for art and ingenuity.
- The engravers of pipes, pouch clasps, and the metallic discs (kagami-buta) attached to certain netsuke, sprang from the same class and were not less original.
- The netsuke and the pipe, with all that pertained to it, were for the commoners what the sword-hilt and guard were for the gentry.
- When Japanese sculpture in wood or ivory is spoken of, the first idea that presents itself is connected with the netsuke, which, of all the art objects found in Japan, is perhaps the most Netsuke essentially Japanese.
- But the netsuke, we should still have no difficulty in differentiating the bright versatility of her national genius from the comparatively sombre, mechanic and unimaginatrve temperament of the Chinese.
- But the netsuke may now be said to be a thing of the past.
- It is not to be inferred, however, though it is a favorite assertion of collectors, that no good netsuke have been made in modern times.
- That theory is based upon the fact that after the opening of the country to foreign intercourse in 1857, hundreds of inferior specimens of netsuke were chiselled by inexpert hands, purchased wholesale by treaty-port merchants, and sent to New York, London and Paris, where, though they brought profit to the exporter, they also disgusted the connoisseur and soon earned discredit for their whole class.
- But in fact the glyptic artists of Tokyo, Osaka and KiOto, though they now devote their chisels chiefly to works of more importance than the netsuke, are in no sense inferior to their predecessors of feudal days, and many beautiful netsuke bearing their signatures are in existence.

Has anybody stayed at White Villa Mae nam? Is it very far away from everthing as its inland.
I've stayed in Mae Nam at Villa Maphraaw and truthfully Koh Samui is a tiny island. It took about 1 hour to 1 1/2 hour tops to ride around the entire island. If you stay at Mae Nam you're about 15 mins away from the airport on scooter and about 20-25 mins away from Chaewang...My advice is to rent a car or scooter and just go around with a map. There is 1 main road and it's pretty hard to get lost if you know how to use a map...Anywhere on the map is not too far from the action unless you find 30 mins to be far...
Thanks for your reply , will take your advice and rent car

With the control of the Senate squarely at stake this year, comparatively little attention has been paid to House races. But even if Republicans hold a near-lock on the majority, it doesn't mean there aren't consequential races taking place in November, which will offer clues about the national political landscape.
All told, given the favorable national environment for Republicans, the majority party is expected to net seats. National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Greg Walden's goal is to win 12 additional House seats, the upper end of The Cook Political Report's latest projection, which calls for GOP gains of 2-12 seats. But more interesting than the final seat breakdown are the personalities of the candidates involved.
In Minnesota, a blind state senator is running in a competitive race for the Republicans, while the first Hispanic Senate chief of staff is one of the Democrats' top recruits. And Republicans boast three openly gay candidates — two of whom hold solid odds of defeating House Democrats. Important issues are being litigated, too, whether it's the president's health care law for Democrats in conservative-minded districts or immigration for Republicans representing diverse battleground seats.
Here are 10 of the most compelling races to watch:
1. ARIZONA 02: Rep. Ron Barber (D) vs. Martha McSally (R)
Barber is one of the most vulnerable House Democrats, a surprising turn of events since he won election as Rep. Gabrielle Giffords's handpicked successor. Barber was seriously injured in the attack that wounded the congresswoman, but the former Giffords district director recovered to comfortably win a competitive special election in 2012 against a tea-party-aligned opponent. However, against a stronger Republican challenger in November — retired Air Force Col. Martha McSally — Barber barely won, prevailing by just 2,454 votes.
McSally is running again, and her prospects are more promising the second time around. An April poll from her campaign showed her leading Barber by 3 points, a good position for a challenger this far out before November. If she wins, her military profile promises she'll play a prominent role for House Republicans. One X factor: the role Giffords will play for her former staffer, which could make a difference in a close contest.
2. CALIFORNIA 21: Rep. David Valadao (R) vs. Amanda Renteria (D)
Valadao is something of an anomaly in the House Republican caucus. The freshman congressman is one of the few members of his party to represent a district where Hispanics make up a majority of the voting-age population, and supports a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants as part of a comprehensive immigration plan. He won his first election after Democrats failed to land a credible recruit to run against him.
That's changed this year. He's likely to face Democrat Amanda Renteria, the first female Hispanic chief of staff in the U.S. Senate (for Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow). For a party lagging behind Republicans in recruiting national Hispanic political leaders, Renteria would carry a high profile in Congress. She's got a good chance to win in a district where President Obama won 55 percent of the vote in 2012, but she'll need to turn out enough liberal-minded Hispanic voters in a midterm election to do so.
3. CALIFORNIA 52: Rep. Scott Peters (D) vs. Carl DeMaio (R)
If Republicans hope to improve their party's battered brand, a good start would be picking up a seat in this coastal San Diego district, held by freshman Democrat Scott Peters. The GOP recruited openly gay former San Diego City Councilman Carl DeMaio to enter the race, and he's been running as a "new-generation Republican" — moderate on social issues, but fiscally conservative. (He aired an ad that shows him holding hands with his partner at an LGBT rally.) But if the GOP nominee for California governor is tea-party activist Tim Donnelly, it could dampen Republican turnout in November and help Peters's reelection prospects. The all-party primary results in June should give important clues about the trajectory of this race.
4. COLORADO 06: Rep. Mike Coffman (R) vs. Andrew Romanoff (D)
For a case study in how a politician can reinvent himself, look no further than Coffman, who was elected in a deeply conservative seat but was redistricted into a swing, diverse Denver-area district. He faces one of the most high-profile Democratic challengers of the cycle, former state House Speaker Andrew Romanoff, who has raised more than $2.5 million for the race. This is one of the few GOP-held seats where immigration is poised to become a major issue in the campaign, because the district is one-fifth Hispanic.
Coffman's district is the type of affluent suburban seat that a future Republican presidential candidate needs to win. Obama won 52 percent of the vote here in 2012, and if Coffman loses in a midterm year, it wouldn't bode well for the GOP's long-term prospects.
5. GEORGIA 12: Rep. John Barrow (D) vs. Rick Allen (R)
Can red-state Democratic senators like Mark Pryor and Mary Landrieu hang on to their seats in a tough environment? Ask Barrow, who's the last white House Democrat left in the Deep South. Barrow has managed to fend off numerous GOP opponents, despite representing a district where Obama only won 43 percent of the vote. He's won over enough Republican voters by breaking with the president on numerous issues, most recently emerging as the first Democrat to call for embattled Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki's resignation. In the past, Republicans have struggled to recruit strong candidates in this conservative district, but businessman Rick Allen won an impressive 54 percent of the primary vote to avoid a runoff. If Barrow loses in November, it's a sign of a GOP wave, at least in the South — one large enough to sweep Republican Senate candidates to victory.
6. IOWA 03: Staci Appel (D) vs. GOP challenger
The seat is one of the true House bellwethers of the cycle — it's one of only 18 districts Obama carried in 2012 that's held by a House Republican. With popular GOP Rep. Tom Latham retiring, Democrats are excited about their prospects with former state Sen. Staci Appel, who's vying to become the first female member of Congress from Iowa.
This is one of the strongest Democratic pickup opportunities: Republicans face a crowded June 3 primary while Appel faces no Democratic opposition. Appel's a stronger candidate than her prospective GOP rivals, but she lost reelection to the state Senate against a tea- party-aligned candidate in 2010. The environment could be similar in 2014, with Republicans getting a boost by a strong showing from Gov. Terry Branstad at the top of the ticket.
7. MASSACHUSETTS 06: Rep. John Tierney (D) vs. Seth Moulton (D) and Richard Tisei (R)
In the last 22 years, no member of Congress from Massachusetts has lost reelection, but Tierney is one of the most threatened incumbents in all of Congress this year — thanks to his family's involvement in a gambling scandal. Despite representing a Democratic-friendly seat, he barely defeated Republican Richard Tisei, a former state Senate minority leader. Tisei is mounting a comeback this year and running in a more favorable political environment than in 2012. But first Tierney needs to get through the primary, where he's facing strong opposition from Harvard-educated Iraq War veteran Seth Moulton, who has outraised the congressman in three straight quarters. If Moulton wins the nomination, Democrats' chances of holding the seat increase markedly.
8. MINNESOTA 07: Rep. Collin Peterson (D) vs. Torrey Westrom (R)
Minnesota state Sen. Torrey Westrom may be one of the most intriguing House recruits of the year. When he was 14, Westrom lost his vision in a farming accident but persevered as an accomplished high school wrestler. He put himself through law school, and was elected to the Minnesota state Legislature at age 23.
He will have a challenge unseating Peterson, a 12-term congressman and ranking Democrat on the House Agriculture Committee who has easily won every campaign since 1994 — even surviving the 2010 GOP wave. But as one of the few rural, moderate Democrats left in the House, he's been exposed as the Democratic Party has drifted left. Like many other Blue Dog Democrats, Peterson considered retiring, but decided to run for reelection just several months before the filing deadline. Count this as the sleeper race of the cycle.
9. NEW HAMPSHIRE 01: Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D) vs. Frank Guinta (R)/Dan Innis (R)
If there's a GOP wave in November, Shea-Porter will be one of the first members of Congress to feel it. The congresswoman who ran on an antiwar platform was elected in the Democratic sweep of 2006 and then was ushered out of office four years later when Republicans retook control of the House. On the heels of Obama's reelection in 2012, she won back her old seat but is facing another tough contest in 2014.
In September, Republicans face a competitive primary, pitting former Rep. Frank Guinta, who lost to Shea-Porter in 2012, against Dan Innis, one of the three openly gay Republicans running for Congress this year. Guinta begins the race as the favorite.
10. WEST VIRGINIA 03: Rep. Nick Rahall (D) vs. Evan Jenkins (R)
Rahall is another House Democrat who is facing the hard reality that House races have become increasingly nationalized. A protector of his district's coal interests, the 38-year House veteran has seen his fortunes decline as his party has sided with environmental interests over energy production. After winning only 54 percent of the vote in 2012, Republicans recruited a former Democrat, state Sen. Evan Jenkins, to challenge him. Early spending from Koch-affiliated groups badly hurt Rahall's standing, but Democratic super PACs have responded in kind to keep him in contention.
CORRECTION: Renteria was the first female Hispanic Senate chief of staff, not the first overall Hispanic Senate chief of staff.
What We're Following See More »
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has released its score of the House-passed American Health Care Act, which would replace Obamacare. According to the CBO, the bill would reduce the deficit by $119 billion by 2026, while leaving 14 million more Americans uninsured in 2018 than under current law, a number swelling to 23 million by 2026. Further, insurance premiums would balloon 20 percent in 2018 and five percent in 2019 before the waiver provision in the legislation would kick in. The provision allows states to apply for waivers and permit insurers to offer skimpier plans, which would likely entice younger and healthier individuals to buy health insurance while potentially pricing older and less healthy Americans out of insurance plans. House Republicans approved this bill in late April without waiting for the CBO score.
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said Wednesday during a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing that President Donald Trump's budget is literal more than recycling bin material. "The budget proposed by the president doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of passing," Graham said. Graham had previously opposed the budget over its nearly 30 percent cut to the budget of the State Department. The budget slashes spending on domestic priorities while increasing military spending.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday that he doesn't yet know the formula towards gaining passage of an Obamacare replacement in the Senate. "I don't know how we get to 50 (votes) at the moment. But that's the goal," McConnell said. The House passed an Obamacare replacement bill which has been widely seen as dead on arrival in the Senate, and McConnell has put together a working group of Republican Senators working towards creating health care legislation which could gain the support of at least 50 Senators.
The transcript of a phone call between Donald Trump and Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was leaked and it shows Trump referring to North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un as a "madman with nuclear weapons" and praising Duterte, saying he was doing an "unbelievable job on the drug problem." For context, Duterte has presided over a vicious and genocidal campaign of extrajudicial killings within his country which has led to the murder of thousands of expected drug dealers and users. Trump also told Duerte to take care of himself and promised that the U.S. would "take care of North Korea."
