The property had a lovely homely feel which made us feel very welcome. The owners had kindly left the heating on for when we arrived which reinforced the warm welcome! The description and photos are an accurate record of a spacious and 'fun' property (our daughters liked the blake board paint on the walls to the downstairs toilet). It is very quiet (being a cul de sac assists) but with good local amenities.
The structural layout of the property works really well; especially, the glazed triple doors between the patio garden and the kitchen diner a really good feature allowing the interior to be flooded with light and, with the doors open, a really fresh and comfortable space. We also realy liked the way that the loft space has been made into the upstairs bedroom.
The owners stated that we could pick any ripe pears off the tree in the patio garden. Whilst the outside space is relatively small it is a secluded spot in which to laze away the time.
It is an easy walk into the centre and a great location if you are attending a sporting event at Croke Park.
My only word of warning is that if you have parked on the road outside between Monday and Friday that you make sure that you put a parking permit on the car; the owners have a supply of scratch cards. The wardens during our stay came regularly to check and three cars were seen clamped ( payment of 80 euros required to secure release - no warning).
