I would recommend Tara's place to anyone traveling with a family looking for a great location tucked away on a quiet street. We were so centrally located to everything we wanted to do in Dublin. 5 minutes from the shops and a 15-20 minute walk to the city centre. Or just hop on the bus which is also a 5 minutes walk from the front door and only 3 stops away from O'Connell street. The floors were a little dirty and the kitchen was a little messy but those small details are nothing in comparison to the time my family and I had. Tara was there to greet us at 6am after our over night flight. Which meant we didn't have to find something to do until the regular 3 pm check-in. She made coffee for us and showed us where everything was. She was easy to reach and her neighbor two doors down was there for anything we may have needed. Overall this house was everything my family and I needed and nowhere near the cost of most family rentals in Dublin! Great value! Great host.
