In the hills above Dublin, with stunning views of the town and bay, but a short drive down to Dun Laoghaire where you can park for 5 euro a day and take the DART into town. The Blue Light is a real pub, somewhat legendary among locals, but not a tourist spot, which delighted my husband who had a whiskey and a pint by the turf fire the moment we arrived and was utterly enthralled by the atmosphere. Our Irish friends were so impressed to hear we were staying there. The flat itself is spacious and homey, with fresh flowers and chocolates on the kitchen table when we arrived. In the evening, we made a fire in the fireplace and listened to the band play in the pub below (awesome!) but the bedrooms are in the back, so it was quiet when we were ready to sleep. It's tucked away on the edge of a residential neighborhood, so in the morning the only sound was that of birds singing. All in all, I think it was the perfect place to stay for our time in Dublin. I'm so glad we found it!
