This is the place to stay when you visit Dublin. The house is in Portobello, a very walkable residential neighborhood--more relaxing than staying downtown--and its where Deborah and Ultan live when they come into town. The house is newly renovated with attention to every detail and has lots of great art on the walls. It is perfect for a couple staying downstairs with two children in their own rooms upstairs, but the property is spacious enough to fit more.

The focus of the house is the downstairs living room and connection that are in a loft-style space opening to a rear patio. The house is as beautiful in person as it is in the photos. Our only surprises were pleasant ones!

The house is a comfortable walk to Grafton Street and most Dublin sights, or a short Uber ride. If you want to rent a car to get outside of Dublin, as we did, there is a Hertz within a 10 minute walk and convenient parking right outside the front door.

Deborah and Ultan are super friendly and generous with great suggestions, which lead us to nearby Bibi's for a great breakfast, the Locks for a great dinner, and Irish music at Devitts. We even got to meet Ultan for a beer at a Leinster rugby match!
