Dublin Airbnb guests arrive expecting Guinness and leave charmed by the literary culture, coastal walks, and the way Irish people make any conversation feel like they've known each other for years. A digital guide bridges the practical gaps: how to use the Luas versus the DART versus the Dublin Bus, which Temple Bar pub is worth visiting versus which is a tourist trap, how to day-trip to the Cliffs of Moher without a rental car, and what 'gas craic' means and why it's the highest compliment. One QR at the door and your guests feel like regulars before their first full day.

Host tips for Dublin
Five things experienced Dublin hosts wish they'd written into their guide on day one.
- 1Dublin's short-term rental regulations require planning permission for entire-home rentals under 90 days in areas designated under the Rent Pressure Zone rules — check your specific area with Dublin City Council.
- 2The Leap card works on all buses, Luas, DART, and most Commuter Rail services. Add the card top-up app link in your guide — guests who learn this on day one thank you in their review.
- 3Irish weather is genuinely unpredictable at any time of year. Add a single line: 'Pack a rain layer, even in July' — guests who are surprised by June rain leave it in their review, not your fault, but preventable.
- 4Temple Bar pubs charge tourist prices. Your guests should visit once for the atmosphere, then drink everywhere else. Recommend three pubs off the tourist trail — this single tip makes you a hero host.
- 5Dublin Bay swimming is a thing year-round — Forty Foot in Sandycove is unheated and open to all. Add it to the guide with the DART stop; it gets mentioned in reviews more than any other recommendation.

What is the Leap card and how does my guest use it?+
