Fantastic house with great location! There was 6 of us (3 adults and 3 kids) and we loved all the space in the house. John was very responsive and always replied to my emails very quickly and even suggested places we should go while in the area. He was waiting for us at the house when we checked in and gave us a quick rundown of how to work the heat and hot water (which worked great!!!) and the house was very clean! There was a large grocery store and lots of restaurants near by. Thai Garden restaurant on Church Ave in Blanchardstown was close and had great food! It is tucked behind a barber shop so you can't see it from the road but it's there!!!
We had a car so driving into Dublin was very easy and it was a short drive out to NewGrange and the Hill of Tara. However if you don't have a car, the train station is a short walk away!
