The perfect place to stay in Dublin. A 5-10 minute walk from an excellent grocer, coffee shops, restaurants, the Dart, buses, excellent Indian food and a famous pub. We were very comfortable, and enjoyed eating dinner on the patio. Try Howth, Malahide, and Bray for day trips from the Dart. You can pick up one week leap cards at Dublin airport in the convenience store on the way out of Terminal 1, just ask.
