Clare's home is a clean, stylish, lovely little place in a great location for exploring all Dublin has to offer. Hopping on the LUAS (tram line) could not have been easier (or the buses for that matter). If you are concerned about Ranelagh being close enough to museums and attractions as we were, don't be. We thought the location was perfect. We were pleasantly surprised by Ranelagh itself -- such a nice neighborhood and very short walk to the grocery store and to restaurants, pubs, etc. Clare knew we were arriving very late at night and was so kind in providing us plenty of snacks and drinks to get our stay started.
