Our stay was in November, the weather cold and damp with a lot of rain. For us the weather conditions were not important as we weren’t on holiday instead were visiting due to very personal business and exactly because of this we wanted and needed a place to retreat to rather than stay in an hotel. I chose this accommodation as Edel and Ronan are accredited, like myself, as AirBnb Super Hosts.
It is a perfect location for the village of Dalkey only a 20 min. walk. It’s also about the same distance walking to Sandycove and Glasthule where you can take a great walk along the promenade.
DART, the train that runs along the coast through Dublin from just north of the city and as far down south as Greystones. There is a station in Dalkey so there is no need to take the car when visiting the sights in Dublin City.
Accommodation is small but cosy, perhaps the bed could be bigger it’s only approximately 140cm but quite comfortable. Edel had left eggs, bread and milk and the coffee capsules for the machine, a Tassimo by Bosch, made a good cup of coffee. The very small kitchen is equipped with washing and drying machines an oversized fridge freezer cook top, oven and microwave a small fold away table and 2 dining chairs. Although there really is only room for just 2 to eat,there are enough dinner plates and coffee cups for a big party!!
We know the area so knew where to shop and eat but for those that don’t the hosts can give great tips and there is plenty of information in the apartment along with books and maps of the immediate area as well as the rest of Ireland.
