Maura's place is a cozy, hidden gem in Dublin. This cottage is perfectly located by the sea - a real oasis from the busy centre, yet still walking distance to major attractions. The cottage was pristine - one of the cleanest AirBnB's ever. The bedding was plush and made it difficult to get up in the morning because it was so comfy. The decor is fresh, contemporary, and comfortable. It feels like a true home. It has all the amenities you could ever need on a holiday - washer/dryer, private patio, dishwasher, all appliances and cookware, breakfast basics provided (such a nice touch!), extra blankets, 2 bathrooms (bonus!) - all housed in a very quaint and quiet neighbourhood. Excellent value. Nolan's grocery is about an 8 minute walk away and even has a fantastic selection of vegan products, which I appreciated. Don't miss walking to Bull Island, which is about 10 minutes away. Stunning beach and trails through the tall grass made for picture-perfect views. There is a local neighbourhood pub about 2 blocks away, although we never had a chance to go because we wanted to enjoy cooking in the beautiful kitchen with all the great food we picked up. The area is very nice to walk around and see how locals live because it is removed from the major tourist area. Do not hesitate to book this place - you won't regret it!
