We loved staying in this house. It is stylish and welcoming - a real home away from home. My husband and I stayed there with two sets of parents (6 people in total). Deborah had set up a Christmas tree and other decorations which made it feel very festive. The kitchen is perfect for cooking and the dining table is perfect for 6 or more. The kitchen has lots of breakfast ingredients. The bedrooms are spacious and very well finished. There was ample towels and other toiletries. The heating works really well and so we were very cosy.
The location of the house is perfect for exploring Dublin city. In Portobello itself you have numerous cafes (favorites were BiBis and Little Bird). You are a short stroll from Camden Street with numerous restaurants and food shops (check out Listons). Walk a little further and you are in Stephens Green, where you can shop your heart out. Check out Balfes in the Westbury hotel for a nice lunch.
Overall, we loved our stay here. Ultan and Deborah were great hosts and answered any questions we had very quickly! We hope to be back soon.
