Ali's place could not be better located! It's just a stone's throw from the main street in Ranelagh, with all its bars and restaurants on your doorstep, and the city center is just a 15 minute walk away. Despite this the house is very peaceful as it is located down a quiet lane.
We stayed in winter and, being an old house, it could get a bit cool on occasion but the heating works well to make it cozy! If you'll be staying in winter too I'd recommend some slippers or thick socks as the bathroom floor, in particular, was usually pretty chilly.
The house has everything you need for a pleasant and comfortable stay and we were delighted to see the fridge stocked with all the essentials required for an Irish breakfast!
We had one minor issue soon after arrival but Ali was immediately available to deal with it and made it right quickly and without fuss.
Highly recommend Ali's place as a base for a stay in Dublin.
