I had the pleasure to stay in this property for a month, and I still will probably not make justice of how wonderful this place can be.
Even before I arrived at the door I had the pleasure of receiving a lift from Róisín’s herself. Upon arriving you could see that the house is located in one of the main roads from Dublin city center to the Dun Laoghaire pier, making the place feel quite safe due to its open area and constant movement of friendly neighbours. Two bus stops to the city centre of Dublin and Dun Laoghaire are quite close and very handy. Róisín provides a Leap Card for your travels which is most handy. The studio itself is more spacious than the pictures make it look, giving you enough space to move around with your large suitcases. The windows in the ceiling give it a good natural light through out the place and through out the day. The place is thoroughly clean and quite stylish, have a good balance of bright colours to make it look happy and friendly. It has its own microwave and fridge that for my stay was enough to keep me around, and Róisín provides all the basics, like a kettle, toaster, cutlery, glasses, plates, and if you are lucky like I was, her own home made bread and granola. During the weekends when she is less busy, she invited me to join her for a conversation, either during lunch or a little evening snack. It was a great opportunity to see how friendly and welcoming Róisín is. Like herself, the place is quite warm, but even so, you have plenty of sheets and blankets in case you are still feeling a little cold. Other basics that she also provides, is a hairdryer, shower gel (among other cleaning utensils), abundance of towels, tourism flyers, books of Ireland history and many DVDs for your entertainment. Finally, if you are a private person like I am, this studio really is what you are looking for. Private entrance, private quarters and a private bathroom, where you can hardly hear what is going on outside or from inside the house where the studio is attached. If you ask gently, Róisín can also provide you with a washing machine for your laundry, she just needs to give you access when she is around.
Overall, for a short stay, or even a long one like I did, this place is highly recommended, either if you come for tourism, for business, just to enjoy the sea coast, or just to try a fresh new place to calm your spirit.
