Joan & Lydia’s flat at Rathcoole is a great spot on the edge of Dublin, if you don’t want to stay in the city. It is very easy to get buses into & out of Dublin Town. Rathcoole is a great little village with supermarkets, shops & great local pubs so eating in or out is easy to arrange. There are shared clothes washing facilities to access as well. There is a dual carriageway road next to the village, but I didn’t find it to be of any difficulty, it may for someone who needs very quiet space. The hosts are great, lots of good information on check-in & always available to contact or assist. I really enjoyed my Rathcoole, Dublin stay.
