Deirdre was helpful, friendly and willing to spend time with us upon arrival to orient us to the house, Rathmines and Dublin. The house is beautiful and extremely well maintained. It was spacious enough to be comfortable for my wife and I, an au pair, and our two boys. Rathmines is well located. I enjoyed the half hour walk into central Dublin for work and the family found it a fantastic location for touring. The immediate area is filled with pubs and restaurants. And Ranelagh is an easy 15 minute walk. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit!
