We stayed from Nov 22 to Dec 1, 2015 in Clontarf. We really enjoyed the area and were able to walk to the DART station within 10 minutes and the Supervalu was about a 15 to 20 minute walk. The house was a perfect size for the five of us, 4 adults and 1 child with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Since we were there late November it was quite damp in the apartment but we knew this and expected the dampness in the house.
Denise was very hospitable, we arrived earlier in the morning and were able to drop off our luggage and when we officially checked in she gave us all the information regarding the house and area.
I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone interested in visiting the Dublin area.
