There were 7 of us staying in Dublin for a week. The house is old but charming with 10 foot ceilings and large comfortable sitting areas. The kitchen is unusual in that it nice and large and has a table in it so everyone can gather around for meals. The back yard is also a plus and has a clothesline for laundry. The ping pong table in the backyard is in poor shape but usable – our boys had some fun with it.
One minor drawback is the fact that there is only one toilet and one bathroom – they are separated so that makes it’s a little more convenient. The bathroom has a good shower as well as the bathtub shown in the pictures.

The location of the house is ideal for getting into Dublin or getting away from it. To get into the city, you can take a bus which is a very short walk from the house. It runs several times an hour and will get you to the city center in less than 20 minutes. We also used a taxi to get back and that’s is very fast and inexpensive as well – we got a taxi at the Temple bar and got back to the house in less than 15 minutes for less than 14 Euro. With a car, getting out of the city or to places near the city like Howth and Malahide is easy as well with the M50 motorway just a 10 minute drive away. Finally, when we were leaving, it took us less than 20 minutes to get to the airport.
The area near the house is well worth exploring as well. We visited the Glasnevin cemetery and had a great tour. Right next to the cemetery is the Gravediggers pub – which is a great place to have a beer or two. The national botanic gardens are also walking distance from the house.

The 7 of us found the house very comfortable and would definitely stay here again.
