The house is indeed a bright Victorian town house at the “real” end of inner city Dublin. Comfortable and inviting decor and good kitchen facilities (kitchens in these houses are always a bit of a squeeze and bathrooms an after-thought) and a lovely outdoor table if the weather is good. If you are expecting St James’s Green then you will be disappointed but it’s a great location in walking distance of the north city and well connected by public transport to other areas.
Our host was very accommodating with check in and out, very responsive to queries and needs, and had lots of suggestions tailored for us after talking to us. An easy car park at the house made the stay even simpler (we had an elderly relative and needed the car occasionally, but walking, Dublin bikes and the Luas were the best options otherwise. Hope to stay here again!
