Renata’s place was perfectly represented. Spotlessly clean, comfortable bed, excellent internet, quiet safe neighborhood, everything is brand new. Washer/dryer and dishwasher were invaluable. Full size refrigerator and double oven too. I usually choose an Airbnb that has lots of reviews. But there was little to choose from because it was last minute. So I took a risk with Renata. Wow I got lucky she will very soon become a “Super Host.” I came to Dublin to help my daughter who was on holiday in Ireland and went into labor, 6 weeks early. Renata went above and beyond to make our stay ideal. Checking with us regularly if we needed anything, but not at all bothering us. Printing out papers for my daughter to get her baby’s passport. Answering tons of questions about where and how to find things. Baby “stuff” is hard to find with Irelands “supply chain problems.” Renata was very accessible. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her place again. A few things more things about Renata’s place.
Close to two direct bus lines that get you almost anywhere you need to go in the City. Haddington line gets you to City Centre (O’Connell St.) and Ringsend gets you across town to places like Trinity College and St. Stephens Green. Both about a 10 minute walk from the apartment. DART at Grand Canal stop is 5-8 minutes walk away too. We just didn’t need it. If using public transportation I’d highly recommend getting a LEAP card. Closest place to purchase card for $5 is at the Grand Canal DART station. Then load $$ on to card. Get app on your phone so you can reload $$ at your convenience. You get a discount when using the LEAP card.
100 yards away is a gym/pool called Sportsco. I bought a one month pass for a very reasonable price. Needed the mental and physical workout.
3 grocery stores all within 5-8 min walk. Tesco the standard grocer, over the bridge in Ringsend. 2 EuroSpar’s for last minute things, one is on Barrow Street by Google and the DART station. Second EuroSpar on Bath Street behind Lott’s & Co. Grocer. And Lott’s a fancier Whole Foods type place. I’d recommend all three.
Pharmacies in 3 different directions each only a 5-8 minute walk. Close to Grocery stores. Pharmacy in Ringsend “All Care” open weekends, staff was extremely helpful.
Very close to Aviva stadium, walking distance. Very fun neighborhood, especially on Rugby match days!
