Mary was a good host. She responded to all communications and questions very quickly.
The house is in a pleasant, quiet area of Dublin, and has brilliant access to public transport. Buses run every five minutes from the end of the road into the city centre, and it is a ten minute walk to Drumcondra train station, with trains every hour to Connelly station (3 minutes journey time). It took us 30 minutes to walk to the middle of Dublin, and 15 to the Botanic Gardens (well worth a visit).
The house accommodated our party of five very well. It was a bonus that all the bedrooms had en-suite facilities, although there are only single beds. It had been cleaned well before we arrived. It is well equipped, although a lot of the equipment has seen better days (the oven was replaced with a new one during our stay), as the house is let to students outside the holiday season. The provision of cable TV and high speed Wi-Fi was appreciated by our teenage son!
