Daire's house is in a lovely residential setting. Super nice garden with a grill. Off street parking. 2 minutes walk to a park. 5 minute walk to a play ground. 5 minute drive to a crazy big Tesco and mall (use the red parking lot for Tesco). Traveling as a family, it was a perfect setup.
Do you want to go to Dublin and walk the streets and party like an animal? Find a different place. Do you want to be able to get all over Dublin in 30 minutes but still have off days in the quiet and run your toddler around a big field? This is an excellent place.
Also, his emergency contact was very gracious when we set the house alarm off, which was very nice of her. She's a peach.
