Sandymount is a wonderful location for a Dublin visit. Wonderful shops nearby. For me, as a runner, the path along the bay to the Poolbeg Light House, is a must. But all the city attractions are easily reachable by bus, or by foot. Joan was a charming hostess, answering all my questions. I loved the ensuite lodgings. My only complaint: they are fully booked for when I plan to return in September.
