Had a wonderful time here. Fiona and Philip were wonderful hosts, giving me plenty of info pre-trip on the apartment, transportation, and local and out of town attractions. When I arrived they were waiting and made sure I got settled in nicely. They were always available by phone if needed and they have a land line phone for guests to use for local calls.
The apartment was clean and spacious for three people. Very cozy to come back to after a day of sight seeing. Fiona and Philip keep it stocked with towels and a welcome package of some breakfast food. Also present was a well-stocked coffee maker for the all important morning brew.
Location of the apartment was just right, about a 10 minute bus ride to downtown was convenient yet far enough away to be removed from the crowds. The local hop-on hop-off bus tour had a stop a short walk from the apartment and this proved to also be a good way to first become familiar with Dublin's sights and then to get around the city. A small collection of pubs and restaurants at the Ballsbridge end of Anglesea Road were a great spot to enjoy a meal or grab a drink for the authentic Irish neighborhood pub experience.
In all this was a beautiful apartment in a lovely part of the city. Fiona and Philip are wonderful hosts and anyone traveling to Dublin will enjoy staying here.
