Seven of us used this as our base of operations for a week exploring Dublin and the surrounding area (for four of us, this followed a week of cycling the west coast), and I really couldn’t be more pleased with decision to stay here. With plenty of space, in a quiet neighborhood, within minutes of public transportation (20-30 minutes by bus to city center, depending on the time of day), and a short walk from a small market and a few pubs/restaurants (I’d recommend Ashton’s - or a quick bus/cab ride into Ranelagh, which has quite a bit more to offer), I found the location to be terrific. More than that, it has that feeling of home that lets you relax after a day touring the city, or like we did, Howth, Dalkey, and Bray. While Ronan was unable to meet us in person, he was a very good, responsive host, who provided us with what truly felt like a home-away-from-home. My eight-year-old son would recommend this for the Super Nintendo alone, and while I too am a fan of Mario Kart, I’d add that this is a very comfortable and welcoming space to call home while you explore the best that Dublin has to offer.
