We stayed in studio flat 1, which was clean and comfortable and had all the basic necessities ...although I believe a dishwasher is not required for the amount of dishes available. It was lovely to have a courtyard to open up the flat onto. The location is very convenient, with a bus stop on the proverbial doorstep and a Luas station a 15 minute walk away. Several shops for groceries and convenience foods are in very close proximity. The offer of a complimentary morning cup of coffee and a scone/muffin/croissant is a very special and personal touch. It was great to chat to Tommy and get to know the very helpful Neil during these morning visits. This studio flat served our purposes well. Thank you Tom and Noreen for your hospitality. We had a wonderful time in Ireland.
NOTE to other travellers: Valuable advice Neil provided us with, is that the bus service only accepts coins ...and no change is given. A leap card can be purchased down the road for a deposit of 5 Euros, but to get a refund, the card has to be handed in at a bus station in Dublin.
The Luas line does not accept Cash Passport, and we found the ticket machine sometimes does not accept certain notes or coin denominations ... I suppose this depends on the amount of change in the ticket machine.
We found the Android app - Moovit to be very helpful in working out what buses to catch and at which bus stops. It also has Luas line stops.
