Susan's cottage was great. It was cute and clean and had everything we needed. Susan was out of town the day we arrived so she was not able to meet us but we worked out a way to pick up the keys and were able to find her place easily with the gps. The neighborhood was quiet and within a really easy 5 minute walk to the Luas (railcar). This was extremely convenient as it dropped us right by Stephen's green where we met the hop on/hop off tour buses for all of our touristy activities. The only drawback (partially my fault) is that I did not make it a point to ask about parking. The area only had the parking pass or pay every 3 hour options so we ended up having to find a parking garage in which to park the car (we rented a car to get from city to city but did NOT drive in dublin since everything was easily accessible from Susan's cottage).
