The cottage is lovely, modern and full of light. It has been recently modernized with a lovely, functional kitchen and splendid bathroom. Catherine has provided everything one could possibly need during a week-long stay and offered helpful tips to surrounding restaurants and amenities. Our communication with Catherine was always efficient and effortless, as was the check-in process. Dublin is more compact than we realized and it is a short and pleasant walk to museums, pubs and galleries. We particularly enjoyed the walk from the cottage along the canal to the many excellent restaurants in Portobello and Rathmines.
