Sinead's place is great - a true home from home in Dublin. If it's available, don't hesitate to book it.
At check-in, Sinead was there to greet her and show us around the flat. It's in a beautiful old house on the top floor. Three really good sized rooms (living room, kitchen, bedroom) plus a cute little bathroom. Pictures really don't do it justice in conveying how large it is.
Bed is super comfortable - one of the best sleeps I've had in a while. It does front Waterloo Rd so there's a wee bit of traffic noise but with the shutters closed it's quiet enough we had no bother sleeping.
Shower in the bathroom has really good water pressure which is lovely to wake up to. We did have a problem with the hot water one day but Sinead's partner Michael was over to fix it very quickly which was great.
Kitchen was far and away our favourite room. It's large, sunny and well equipped with everything you'd need. Sinead left a full fruit basket, bread, cheese, eggs, coffee etc so we had everything we need to settle in - plus a lovely vase of flowers. Finally, it's got an open fire place where we burned peat briquettes she had provided for a lovely homely smell (and some heat).
We hardly used the living room as it was so nice to hang out in the kitchen.
If you're in Dublin to be a tourist, it's only a 20 minute walk to Grafton Street. And if you're in Dublin to live like a local (which is the best way to live!) you are right in the heart of Ballsbridge with tons of great bars and restaurants within 5 minutes. If you have the opportunity to stay here, take it - you won't regret it!
