We loved staying here. First, we loved the location. Sandymount is about 15 minutes by bus from the city and right next to the sea. And Sandymount Village is charming with good quiet restaurants and a grocery store for after a day in the city. The public transportation is easy and frequent. We ate our big meal at lunch and ate in Sandymount in the evening. Great soup, good burgers and pubs, etc. The room is very comfortable and clean and well equipped with a frig and a kettle. Joan kindly supplied us with filtered water each day and fresh washed dishes. The area is quiet and the shower is hot. Joan even arranged for a cab for us for an early morning outing. We would joyfully stay there again.
