We enjoyed our stay at Petra and William's place for 4 nights. It is in on a great location and a very beautiful and well decorated home. Plenty of emenities!!! Main thing we loved was it was in a quiet area away from the tourism but still close enough to enjoy it when we wanted.
William greeted us upon arrival after our long overnight trip to give us the details about the house. We were also greated with fresh pastries, milk, coffee, tea, wine, cheese, crackers and all we needed to get started. William told us about the local places to buy our necessities and provided other information around the area.
The flat is situated in a cute little park. Very nice location. Easy access to groceries, hop on hop off and River Liffy and Grand Canal.
There are 3 levels. The main level has a nice dining room, formal living room with 2 couches and queen size bedroom with ensuite bathroom. Perfect space for quiet reading and there are plenty of books to choose from as well.
Upstairs has 2 bedrooms, another queen size bedroom and a nice size room, along with another 2 twin bedroom and a large bathroom and shower. Only downside to upstairs is the wifi will not reach. Which was just fine. Most of us downloaded enough to help us read, watch our favorite shows etc. at night since some of us do sleep with a tv on usually.
Downstairs is the kitchen, which is nice and big with a full table. Just off the kitchen is a nice sitting area with a TV and full amount of stations. Nice sitting area outside of that. Small bathroom on that floor as well. We didn't cook, but we did use the microwave and stove to heat up water and food. 2 small refrigerators were plenty of space for food. We spent most of our downtime in the kitchen and that living area. Living area also has an assortment of books and games.
Just a short .3 mile walk to Fresh, a small supermarket including hot and cold meals and anything you need. We went there almost every day. There is a pharmacy and another very small market in the opposite direction. We did the hop on and hop off green bus for 2 days. It is also about a .3 mile walk to one of the stops on Cardiff Lane (stop 7 for green hop on hop off)
We used the app Freenow (similar to Uber) to get cabs to where we needed to go. It was very convenient.
We would definitely recommend Petra and William's home if you're looking for a place in a nice quiet location and away from the tourism but still close enough.
