We spent a week just now at Katie's beautiful home in Ranelagh with our 3 teenage children. To say that our time was magnificent would be an understatement. First, Katie is an exceptional host and provided everything that we needed from the get go including instructions for the house (wifi, alarm, tv) as well as directions to local attractions and public transport. The house itself is splendid and its location is ideal. A short stroll through a gorgeous park will get you to the main street in Ranelagh within a few minutes. From there it is a short trip on the LUAS to Dublin City Center. We found ourselves enjoying brunch and early meals in Ranelagh before heading off into the city. If you want to go via the DART system to the coastal towns as we did like Bray, Greystone, or BlackRock, it is a pleasant short stroll through very well maintained, safe, and charming neighborhoods. Our AirBnB experience couldn't have been any better and if you are looking for a place to stay with charm and convenient access to the city we couldn't recommend Katie's place enough!
