My mum stayed at Mary's place in Ranelagh for a few nights while visiting me. Unfortunately Mary was travelling abroad during my mum's stay so we didn't get to meet her. However Mary's kindly organized for me to pick up the house key before hand so we could let ourselves in. My mum's single bedroom was nicely sized, clean, quiet and warm. There is also a nice kitchen where people can have breakfast in the morning. The house location is excellent in Ranelagh village you have all sort of amenities (bars, restaurants, supermarkets and more). If you like walking you're 30 minutes away from Dublin city center while if you don't the village is very well connected to the center through tram (LUAS) and buses. Next time I have guests coming over to visit me I will suggest Mary's place again.
