Clare and her Mum Aoibhinn were terrific hosts from head to toe. Zero surprises, just a terrific stay for our family. The home is tucked away in an interesting cross-section of Dublin life: Lively Ranelagh (5 minutes or less on foot), Rathmines (10 minutes) and Portobello (10 minutes) are nearby, the scenic canal is less then a block a away, and the Luas light rail is closer still (though virtually zero noise produced). I think it would be difficult o find a more "central" location for tourism and nights out. The house was extremely cozy and the kitchen and TV were top-notch. Spar is a few blocks away, and en route is one of our favorite parks anywhere--Dartmouth Square. The townhouse was impeccably clean and well stocked with cleaning supplies, toilet paper, and the like. Totally recommended.
