We enjoyed our stay at the Rathmines. It was within a reasonable walking distance for us (2 miles or so one way, otherwise you could bus). We had an issue getting into the building, as we were not provided with the access code to the parking. However, we were lucky enough to stop someone who lived in the building and was nice enough to help us out. We really didn't have much communication with Gavin and Emma, which became a little bit difficult when it came to leaving, as we didn't know what to do with the linens after we stripped the bed or where our recycling should go. There were no issues with the apartment itself as everything worked well, we just didn't realize this was not a house and was actually an apartment. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves as we were close enough to the airport and to all of the attractions we wanted to see. The location was definitely ideal.
