Therese is a great host and communication is excellent. We hired a car and the house is about half an hour's drive from the centre of Dublin, there is parking for 2 cars in front of the house, behind an electric gate. There are train stations at Blackrock and Seapoint, both about 10 minutes walk away.
The house is spacious and comfortable and is a real 'home from home'. There is a big kitchen and 'garden room' leading out into the garden which has seating and a gas barbecue. We loved spending time relaxing in this room.
The house has everything you need, including a well stocked fridge! Such an advantage when you're flying in and obviously limited with what you can bring with you. There is a supermarket about 15 minutes walk away when you need to stock up.
Seapoint is about 15 minutes walk away, it's obviously a very popular place for swimming, although we just stuck to paddling! Of course there are loads of places to visit in and around Dublin, and Therese's house is a great base, having the advantage of being close to the coast and the city. We definitely recommend a stay here!
