This cottage was absolutely BRILLIANT for my stay in Dublin! It was my first time in the city (actually, my first time being abroad, in general), and the location couldn’t have been *more* central to get to all of the magical things Dublin had to offer. I live in NYC, so walking is not a problem for me, but even the walking that I did do wasn’t bad at all! You can get anywhere in 10-25min, depending on how far out you went.
The private coldesac made it nice for when I wanted to spend the morning in after having a few too many Guinny’s from the night before ;) but it also gave you this nice vibe of “being in the city,” but also a vibe that “you’re staying in the countryside.” Staying in the cottage and not a hotel really made me feel like I was a true local—like I owned it! And that’s exactly what I was going for. It was beyond perfect.
Not to mention, Joanna is SO pleasant and extremely reliable! I’m so glad that she’s the one who owns the spot—communicating with her was a breeze! :) (She’s super thorough, she let me check in early, and she also messaged me before my flight to make sure I had a nice stay!) Couldn’t have asked for a better owner! (Although I’m quite jealous she has such a cute spot ;) Ha!)
The interior space is also super modern with a sprinkle of Irish charm—part of me felt like I was back in NYC where I currently live. I’d 10000% stay there again when I go back. (Because I am ABSOLUTELY visiting the city again—it was amazing.) And I encourage you to stay at this cottage if you travel to the Emerald Isle, too!!
