The apartment is spacious and comfortable with everything you’d need. It’s a 30 minute walk to town if you’re up for it but there are also buses etc close by. The apartment is above a pharmacy so it’s quiet at night. There is a Tesco Express just outside the door, as well as nice cafés, shops and a really good fish shop. About 5 minutes away is Rathmines proper where there are loads of shops and restaurants. I didn’t know Rathmines well before this stay and there is s definite buzz to the place. Elaine greeted us when we arrived and is a friendly and very helpful host!
