What makes this place so special is the kindness and hospitality of the hosts. They went out of their way to make the trip perfect.
The flat itself is well appointed, clean and comfortable and was stocked with everything we needed when we first arrived. There is a nice back garden where you can sit out and a secure parking space if needed. It is well located being an easy 10-15 minute stroll into the centre of Dublin, or if you don't want to go that far, there are shops, restaurants and cafes all around. Shopping is easy with several local shops and a small supermarket just across the road, or you can walk to the main shopping area along Grafton St, about 10-15 minutes away.
For a jog or a stroll, St. Stephen's Green is 10 minutes away on foot, or there are several small parks nearby, or even the canal footpath.
The area is a good one and perfect for exploring with bus stops outside the door. A taxi to the airport is around 25euro, or the airport bust stops just outside the house.
If you're planning to visit Dublin (and you should) this is the perfect location. It also makes a great base for exploring other parts of the country. I cannot recommend this flat too highly. We will definitely be back.
