The room is comfy and private. Great communication with Helena and yes cute dogs as others have mentioned. The area is quiet. The bus stop is indeed at the door and about 30 minutes bus ride to the city centre. Dundrum Luas stop and shopping centre are about 15 minutes walk. (Side note: Dublin bus schedule is unreliable. If you plan on going out until late, Luas runs until a later time compared to buses but doesn’t run all night).
