I stayed there with my mother for 4 nights, the appartment was very clean and had everything you could expect from a proper airbnb. While we were very happy to have found an accomodation within our budget close to Dublin I cannot pass the fact that it is farrer than what other reviews let me imagine. Mary has been an awesome host who readily helped me whenever I reached to her wether it be to heat up our appartment or help me book a taxi to the airport. I would like to focus this review on what you guys are trying to figure out reading at the reviews : "How close/far from Dublin is this place? and How easy/difficult is it to commute from and to this place? " First advice: use the bus as your primary means of transport (the trainline is worth doing it but you would have to take a bus to go there, or walk for 1h25min (yes we did it once but it was to go back home on a Sunday...because train and bus timetable do not match that well) and then wait to get the train...) the taxi from the airport to Rush cost us : 32 euros the taxi to the airport at 5:30 am cost us :35 euros The nearest bus stop is 3 min walk from the appartment The bus line to and from Dublin are lines 33 and 33a you can find the timetable here: https://www.dublinbus.ie/Your-Journey1/Timetables/All-Timetables/33/ I also sugest downloading the Dublin Bus App (which is one of the best I've seen so far) the bus stop number is 3834 (so you can get a clear picture) it will take you 1h15 min to reach Dublin by bus (Abbey street Lwr) a single way to Dublin cost : 3,30euros / person so a day to Dublin and back to Rush cost 6,60 euro / day / person So expect to spend a minimum of 2h30 each day in a bus (not that it is bad, afterall you can consider it an experience while looking at Irish urban landscape) you should also add to this some time to wait for the bus that can be anywhere from one hour to 15 minutes...and on Sunday... To me it is fair to say that this place is 1h40 min to Dublin (up to 2h25 on your unlucky, unplanned day) >> on Sunday you'd better take some time to chill on the nearby beach, which is AMAZING, rather than plan an elaborated trip to Dublin, you'd spend hours waiting for the next bus or the next train, and get the connections...to go back to Rush unless you are sure of your planning skills, chill by the beach I'd say :) All in All we spent around 100 euros for 3 days (and 4 nights) for 2 people on transportation (not counting anything like day tours or extra bus trips around Dublin. Note that Dublin is one of these cities that applies strict change policy...
