Frances is a really attentive and lovely host..She is always interested in one's well being and is helpful in any case of concern. As a mother with children of my age (around 30), she was really open-minded and willing to give good advices, being at the same time up-to-date about places she knew to enjoy night- and day life in Dublin (restaurants, pubs or even music events).
Without hesitating I would choose this place to stay in Dublin again, since there had been one disadvantage concerning the location: Actually travelling by train to the center (Connolly Rail Station) just takes about 20 minutes (walking distances included) and trains do come regularly, but up to 11.30 PM there are not many options left than taking an expensive taxi (around 25 €).
Apart from that, you will be accomodated in a quiet and pleasant area (Raheny) surrounded by family houses in well-off conditions, where you can find supermarkets, farmacies and cafe shops or even a few bars to hang out.
Considering to plan a trip for sight-seeing (and even late dinners) instead of enjoying night-life, I can highly recommend to stay at Frances' place worth to get to know the nice host with an ironic sense of humor (mostly embedded in a commentary with an indifferent tone ;).
Thank you for everything FRANCES!!!
