Our room and the whole house is beautifully designed and decorated by Emma, who is an architect. The room has so many nice touches — luxurious feather pillows, comfy bed, charging station, rain shower... We really enjoyed the town of Stoneybatter, a short walk from their house. Emma pointed us in the direction of their favorites — Love Supreme for coffee and breakfast, L Mulligan — a pub with great food and beer pairings (wish it was our neighborhood restaurant at home), Slice for breakfast or lunch, Cobblestone where serious musicians get together every night to play traditional music. Stoneybatter is a wonderful destination for people who enjoy the pleasure of a town that is rebounding with creative new businesses and restaurants. It’s a 30 minute walk to city center and plenty of bus access. Emma, John, and here two adorable kids are lovely. We would definitely come back.
