The property is close to the airport. The faint, low rumbling you hear are airliners landing, but it's not intrusive. The path through the athletic fields wil get you to the bus stop faster than taking the sidewalk through the neighborhood. This is the stop for the 27A bus into town. It takes about 30 minutes, depending upon traffic. You can buy a LEAP card in town giving you unlimited travel on the local bus routes, tram routes (Luas), and local trains. The nearest shopping to the property is a shopping mall with a large Tesco at one mile (1.7km) away. The nearest train station is in the opposite direction at slightly over a mile (1.8km) away. Unfortunately, the 27A doesn't go near either of those destinations.
The bedroom curtains are a little thin, so it gets light rather early. The kitchen has a good selection of pots and pans with lids, but the choice of utensils is limited. There is a rubber spatula with a strangely curved blade and a plastic ladle. There are no sharp knives, a cutting board, or mixing bowls. The cutlery consists of three forks, two dinner knives, a soup spoon and a teaspoon. There is an aluminum baking pan in the oven, but it has peeling paint, and I wouldn't put food into it. The oven and stovetop are missing half of their original knobs along with the temperature dials, so cooking can be hit or miss.
The shower stall has some problems. One of the doors comes off its tracks very easily. The top of the frame itself is literally held together with duct tape., so the doors don't close completely. There is no mat on the floor, so you will need to use a towel for the water that comes through the crack. There is no anti-slip mat in the shower. The outside of the frame could use a good scrubbing.
There is a washing machine, which is good to have, but there was no washing detergent. We supplied a box of washing soap, and anti-slip mat for the shower, and ice cube trays .
