We stayed at Ronan's house while we visited our daughter at UCD (studying abroad this semester). The location is fantastic for visiting the school. The house is very spacious and visually interesting. I enjoyed cooking dinner for a dozen of my daughter's friends in the kitchen. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. We did not rent a car, but the house is within walking distance to a bus and the train. Cab's are easily requested by an app to get to the grocery store.
