This is a wonderful home close enough to downtown Dublin to walk to all of the major attractions but far enough away to be a little oasis of calm in the city.
As other reviewers have noted, while there might be busy roads nearby, none of that noise penetrates to this street. The only outside noise I heard were the seagulls in the morning. The house is very quiet!
The house is nicely laid out with plenty of room for a family of four. The renovations are top notch, and you don't realize you are staying in a home that is actually quite old. The kitchen was wonderful and very high end.
The living family room is open and airy. There was plenty of room in all of the bedrooms as well.
There was PLENTY of hot water for the baths and no water pressure issues at all.
Peter, the host, met us at the home and gave us the grand tour showing us the little things that might be "quirky" to an American (like having to turn on heat or water heater to get hot water).
Peter pointed us to a nice pub, a quick shop grocery store, and gave us easy directions to follow to walk the 10 - 15 minutes to downtown Dublin.
If you happen to need a place close to Aviva stadium, this is it. I think the stadium might be a 15 minute walk from the house. I walked to Starbucks in the morning (10 minutes away) to get coffee for my wife, and I passed the stadium each day. There is a train station very close as well, but we never used it choosing instead to just walk to downtown Dublin. We could get to Merrion Square in 15 minutes. It was perhaps 20 - 25 minutes to get to Trinity College. Very walkable!
Parking was easy, and Peter showed us exactly where to park. We had no issues at all with our car while we were there.
Everything worked well (heat, dishwasher, washing machine). Wifi was EXCELLENT. All beds were comfy, and there was an abundance of towels.
If we come back to Dublin, this will be where we stay!
