Mary's Dalkey home was beautiful, and in a perfect location. We took the train from Dublin to Dalkey, and her home was just a short walk from the station, and the local stores, restaurants and pubs. We made a number of meals in the spacious kitchen, and enjoyed evenings enjoying the ambiance of the garden. Mary was the perfect hostess. Even though she was on holiday herself, she was in communication regarding access to the house, the length of our stay, and how we were adjusting. Typed signs throughout the house helped us with basic home functions like how to use the appliances. She also included a detailed binder with information about the home, the town, and the attractions. Our stay was extremely pleasant; our party of four thoroughly enjoyed it!
