We stayed at Alpha Cottage for just one night. It is very pleasantly located right by the canal and close to Ballsbridge amenities. The flat is in the upper floor of the cottage and is surprisingly roomy with two good sized bedrooms and bathrooms and a nice sitting room with views on the canal. We didn’t use the kitchen but it seemed well kitted out. We did not actually meet Isa but check-in and check-out were very clear and easy.
