The James Connonlly Cottage is in Dublin, but you will need transportation to get to the Downtown attractions. It is very easy to navigate public transportation, so don't let that discourage you. We loved shopping in the local grocery stores and just sightseeing right in the neighborhood--it is a lovely place! The cottage is cozy--we worked it out for 6 of us to stay in the two bedroom place thanks to sofa beds in the living room. Plenty of space and bathrooms for all of us! Thank you!
