Great place. Very convenient to downtown. It is a 5 minute walk to the tram stop and a 10 minute ride to St Stephens/downtown. Couldn't be easier to get to/from all the touristy spots in downtown Dublin. We ended up driving to/from Nora's place and there was no issue with parking on the premises. We basically parked the car and then trammed/walked around the area. The drive back to the airport on a weekday morning took, maybe, 35-40 minutes.
