Edel and Ronan are real superhosts, and the flat is definitely a 5 star airbnb.
Beautifully situated in a calm neighbourhood, two bus stations very close, several supermarkets and convenience stores in walking distance.
This was our first airbnb, and our first visit to Ireland. Our hosts provided us with everything we could wish for. When my partner got a cold, they even turned on the heating midsummer. The small booklet they provided had all information needed in it. We also found a small travel library on the table in the living room which helped us very much.
Communication prior and during our stay was very friendly and superb. Ronan even offered to pick us up from Fitzpatrick Castle when we arrived.
The appartement itself is first class. It is fully equipped with all you might need. When we arrived, Edel welcomed us, showed us everything, and we found snacks, milk and butter in the fridge, and our hosts even bought some bread for us. We were quite overwhelmed. The bed is very comfortable, and the terrace is lovely, situated in a small private garden with a pond, flowers and bumblebees humming around. Absolutely adorable, everything. One also can watch TV, which we did, and now we have seen our first games of hurling and gaelic football. :)
Dalkey itself is a 20 minute walk away (or 5 minutes by bus), Killiney Hill is 10 minutes up the road, the beach is just behind the hill. At Dalkey, walk down to Coliemore harbour, and let Ken the ferryman take you to Dalkey Island. You won‘t believe your eyes.
Dear Edel and Ronan, we are so glad to have found your little place. We recommend it to everyone, and would love to visit again.
