A group of us including Myself, My partner and his parents stayed in Irishtown for a long weekend as they were talking part in the Dublin Iron man. The communication before our arrival was wonderful, Paul and his wife had arranged a friend to be home at our arrival time as they were away on holiday. The house is just beautiful, the kitchen balcony is just as pictured overlooking the very green park. We really enjoyed socialising in the open plan living space with the balcony doors open looking over the park.
Paul and his Wife had left a great letter with a map with local recommendations. We took their advice and ate at a bistro pub 5min walk from their house called 'The old spot.' The food was incredible, the atmosphere wonderful, great service and as a bonus we were surprised how reasonable the bill was!
The location couldn't have been better, its a 5/7min walk to the river Liffey and from there maybe a 20min stroll to the centre (temple bar area). There is a bike stand a 5 min walk from the house where you can rent the city bikes and ride if you prefer! it took us less than 10mins the ride to the cities main attractions.
