Hello! My partner and I will be in Dublin to attend a concert at 3Arena, from the 13 to 16 June. We come by airplane so ideally it should be well connected by public transportation both to Dublin city center and the airport. Our flight arrive in the late evening and we’ll depart in the early morning. We’ve sent quite some requests already but most of them are without answers, while one was refused because of the late arrival, which I understand can be problem. We’re open to guestroom and apartments alike, no special requirements as we don’t plan to stay at home much time as it’s just a weekend and we’d like to explore Dublin as much as possible in the short time. Here is our profile. Thanks!

I have to ask - what concert are you going to see? 
Dublin is a popular choice for an exchange, so finding somewhere with guest points for just a few nights may be tricky. Perhaps you might need to offer guest points for a few more nights if you are having trouble finding somewhere. Or maybe a non-simultaneous exchange if this is a possible option - you have a lovely apartment right in the centre of Brussels which i’m sure would be very attractive to someone in Dublin. Perhaps try a reverse search for members in/near Dublin who wish to stay in Brussels?
Hi Melissa, thanks for keeping the conversation going! We’re coming for the Nine Inch Nails concert, it’s been a dream of ours since 2013, when they came to Milan, where we lived, and we couldn’t go due to family reasons. This new tour is a unique opportunity, and having to choose a city to go see them in, Dublin seemed perfect because we’ve wanted to visit it for a while – we’re killing two birds with one stone.
As for offering more points, we’re open to that possibility. We’ve sent requests to people who required a minimum of 5 nights, offering to book for five nights instead of the three we need, but unfortunately, no response. It’s a bit disappointing because we’re people who always make sure to read the entire profile, personalise the request, and write it by hand, because no one likes receiving a message that ends with “This clearly states your flexibility regarding the exchange or use of GuestPoints”, clearly a message not only written with ChatGPT but where they didn’t even bother to proofread, blindly copying the whole content – this happened to us recently.
I’ll try the reverse search, that’s a good idea, thanks!

That sounds like such a fun trip and I really hope you find someone to exchange with. Other options would be the Facebook group and the Facebook chats if you haven’t tried these already?
I haven’t! My request to join the facebook group has been recently approved so I’ll try as well. Thanks!
