This place is a slice of absolute heaven. If you are looking to stay in Dublin, this spot is ideal, and far, far nicer than the 4 star hotels in the area.
Firstly, I had a really warm welcome from Nessa, the host, who gave me tonnes of information, and the full tour of the property, so I felt right at home straightaway. Nessa's directions for getting to the property were perfect, just follow them to the letter and you won't get lost.
The property is an extremely well-done two-storey conversation on an older cottage style home, in park-like surroundings, right on the canal, so gorgeous views and a country feel, even though you are in the city. Nessa had provided everything I could possibly need for my stay, and more! Other hosts take note! Special touches like homemade honey and extra high quality blankets really made the hospitality stand out for me. I wanted somewhere close to the city centre with free parking, and this home offers both- secure parking plus only a ten minute walk along the canal to friendly pubs, restaurants, shopping area and plenty of buses to take you into the city centre- it's an ideal location for the tourist or the business traveller.
The finish of the property was really impressive, I loved the thought that has gone into making this small home so pretty. Plus the whole place was sparkling clean, which I feel is so important. Nessa has gone over and above to provide a fantastic experience for her guests. I loved the choices of fresh coffee, different teas or cocoa for breakfast PLUS fresh eggs from her own hens-like I said, slice of heaven. All this and a giant roaring fire too 😍😍😍
The private bathroom on the property is large and lush, and that hot shower is an absolute dream when you come in from a days shopping on a typical wet Irish day! Gorgeous surroundings and a real boutique feel to the finish of the studio, it's been fantastically designed.
Thanks for a fab stay, I definitely hope to be back, as my only Negative from this trip is that it wasn't longer!
