We were very happy with our stay at Sarah's beautiful apt which was previously converted from a horse stable! After you walk through the gate, you see many flowers along the pathway and some hanging from the window boxes. Walking under the stone archway into the courtyard, makes you feel as if you are in the country, when actually Dublin city center is only 20 minutes away. We each had our own bedroom and we used the internet and printer for our plane boarding passes. We especially appreciated Sarah's hospitality! Upon arriving in Dublin, Sarah collected us at the airport and gave us suggestions on what to see and how to get around by Bus 37. The location was great - we only had to walk 5 minutes out of their gate to the bus stop and 20 minutes later, we were in downtown Dublin! Sarah and her family always made us feel welcome like their own family; helping us any way they could. Sarah not only did some laundry for us, but she also provided breakfast food for us every day. In the evenings, Sarah stopped over to talk with us about our daily adventures! One morning, I borrowed one of their bikes and rode through the huge Phoenix Park while my kids ran along the paths. We were in awe at how truly green and quiet the fields were in the park. Another day, we had a refreshing swim in their large pool. The morning we left Dublin, Sarah gave us a ride to the airport at 7, before she headed off to work. We really appreciated staying at her beautiful place and all the extra things she did to make our stay in Dublin so great!
