Joan's cottage was perfect for our stay. We were 3 friends spending a few days in Dublin. We had plenty of space as we didn't have to share a bed. We didn't eat in much but the kitchen and living room are practical and cosy. The area is calm and the bus or facilities are not far away. We preferred walking most of the time : it's about 30 minutes to get to Temple Bar. And although we didn't meet Joan in person, she gave us a warm welcome and was very very helpful in her recommendations on what to do and how to get there. Many thanks for making our stay so agreeable !
