We stayed at Nicola's to be close to family who lived nearby. With 3 children, the house was great for our needs. Nicola has a very comfortable tastefully decorated home. The garden and patio was a little sun trap which was really pleasant to sit in when weather was good. We found the neighbourhood to be quiet, central and easy to hop on a bus to City Centre Dublin if that's what you wish. The house is well equipped with mostly everything you'll need. As we stayed for a fortnight, a toaster in the kitchen would have been nice but not a huge problem. Nicola was there to greet us at check-in and was her helpful - she was also available for any questions or queries that arose regarding our stay..many thanks Nicola!
