Desmond House was absolutely amazing. It far exceeded my expectations. The house was decorated beautifully and modern while maintaining the original charm of an old Dublin home. The location is amazing to access Dublin city center, with a beautiful walk alongside the river liffy bringing you into town. The Phoenix park is a short 2 mins walk away. There are 3 local pubs a small store for groceries and a chemist all within walking distance. Emmet and Beatrix were amazing hosts and I thank them for allowing to stay in their beautiful home.
