We are from Oregon and have just returned from our 3 week trip to Ireland to see my husbands family and so happy we found this apartment- truly a home away from home. Nic was an amazing host. She answered all our questions promptly before our trip, met us at the unit for an orientation, even bought us groceries to get us started so we could have an Irish fry in the morning (so very kind and appreciated).
The Unit:
The apartment is very clean, up to date with all the furnishings and beds. There are windows in all rooms making it light and bright yet if you want privacy or darkness there are automatic shades. The kitchen has a washer/dryer, and dishwasher too. We enjoyed making coffee drinks with the Nespresso machine and was easy to make meals. The beds were comfortable - she even has 3 types of pillows too choose from! The sheets and towels are comfortable and the shower is on the big side with a waterfall head. I really liked how quiet - very quiet it was. The TV was new and big and she had games and toys for kids too. It faces a nice courtyard area and has a balcony too with comfortable chairs. The undercover parking is nice and secure.
You can tell that Nic thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and memorable. It was so nice to return to our place after long days out.
Location:
The unit is located in a very nice area on the end of a quiet street. It is so close to bus stops that will bring you anywhere you like to go We liked taking the 54A into Dublin and it was only a 5 min walk from the unit. If using the bus buy a Leap card to save money at any small shop and use google maps for information on the times and connections - its great.
You can also walk to shopping and restaurants. We enjoyed the Two Sisters pub and restaurant ( 10 min walk) -their Tapas Tuesdays was really good. There is a pharmacy and small shop on Greenlea ( 5 min walk ) the town of Terenure is only 15 min walk. I really enjoyed walking in Bushy Park too (15 min walk) - beautiful filled with trails and lakes.
We had the best time - thanks Nic we can't wait to rent your place again.
Thanks
Ron and Carol
