I stayed at Ken's house with a group of 8 girls and we absolutely loved it! It's very cozy and it fits 8 people perfectly. The house is very clean and well maintained, it's charm and Ken's hospitality really made it an enjoyable stay. It's about a thirty minute walk or ten minute taxi from the house to the Blackrock DART station which you can easily access the Dublin city center from, we took the taxis from the temple bar area back home because the DART stops running after 12pm (I think) and it was about €20-25. So I if you're with a group of people in a taxi it is relatively cheap to get to and from the house, from the city center (you just have to allow yourself some time to get there). So overall, if you don't mind a little commute from the residential area then this is a perfect place to stay! I highly recommend it! Thank you so much for having us Ken we all wish we could have stayed longer, cheers (:
