This was a really nice place to stay - spacious, clean, and comfortable. I think the description if anything undersells what a nice area Ranelagh is (parks, restaurants, community atmosphere) and how convenient to public transportation and the center of Dublin it is. Kathleen was an unbelievably gracious host, meeting us at 6 a.m. on a Sunday to let us in even though our check-in time was not until that afternoon, drawing us maps of neighborhood attractions, and promptly answering all questions over the course of our stay. It was a great experience and one I'll recommend to others.
