To call Sinead’s home “secluded” and “close to shops and restaurants” feels like an oxymoron, but it’s the truth. The neighborhood itself is very sleepy, and calming. Such a nice respite after the noise of tourist spots such as Temple Bar.
I was traveling with my parents aged 57 and 58, though they walk a bit slower than me, it was a very walkable neighborhood for all involved. Guinness is a quick walk, and I highly recommend Container Coffee if you’re seeking a quick walk for a latte in the morning.
If you’re planning on renting a car, definitely make it a smaller one. Being a tall family (and road tripping through Ireland for over a week) we had rented a small SUV, and had a tight fit in the parking spot provided.
Overall, we had a lovely time, and very much enjoyed Sinead’s place.
