Looked great on the site and then actually exceeded our already high expectations. Charming house, large, beautiful garden (back yard for the Americans). Location is so convenient..15 minute walk to St Stephen's green, and also on the bus line on Rathmines a few hundred yards down the road. And on Rathmines, you can get everything you need from groceries to beer / wine (Tesco right there), to nice meals at cute restaurants. Shopping Center right there if you forgot anything. Yet, first the neighborhood is tucked away from the noise and then the house is tucked away with a completely private, quiet back yard. Will definitely stay again.
