Johnny and Maeve met us when we arrived and gave us a tour of their home explaining where things were and how to use the appliances. Their is a nice booklet explaining everything with great suggestions regarding places to eat and things to do in the area. The home handled the ten of us quite nicely. They have a lovely patio which made a nice gathering space. We did not have cars and were able to easily walk to the DART for transportation into Dublin and into Dalkey to eat, each about a 25 min walk. There is a market about a .5 mile walk. We did not cook while we were there, however, they have everything you need for meal preparation.
