We just returned to Canada after a two week vacation all over Ireland. Myself, my two children and my husband stayed at Elaine's at the end of our trip just before flying home. This apartment is perfectly appointed for a family of four and is MUCH better than staying in a hotel. Everything we needed was in the suite (including laundry!). The location was amazing. Rathmines is a very safe family friendly neighborhood and is only a quick train ride to the heart of Dublin. There were some essentials (milk, juice, bread and eggs) left for us which made for a quick and easy breakfast before we headed out to explore Dublin. You will not be disappointed with this accommodation!
