I spent two weeks researching in Dublin and was thrilled to stay at this gem of a place in Bray (40 minute train ride to Dublin city centre.) Midway between the heart of Dublin and the lush Wicklow Mountains (also worth a visit!) the penthouse apartment offered wonderful views of Bray, Bray Head and the sea from both its wraparound balcony and the large windowed living space. The apartment was bright, spacious, and beautifully decorated. We had rented a car and used it to drive to the local DART train (though it is within a half hour's walk) so we appreciated the underground parking, gated security, and elevator. Alena met us at the apartment to welcome us the day we arrived to provided us with a tour and info about the apartment and area. Groceries, church, and chipper are just at the end of the lane. Alena was a lovely host -- and throughout the trip was always quick to reply to any queries. My husband, daughter and I truly enjoyed our time there and would highly recommend it to couples and families. Though we didn't have a small child with us, the apartment was really well equipped to welcome them (crib, toys, highchair, etc) Great for families of all ages!
