The interior of Sarah's cottage has been really thoughtfully designed. I would recommend staying here. We hired a car, as we figured it was slightly far out of town, but the Luas Tram-Line, that is literally next door, takes you right into the heart of Dublin in about 12 minutes - so don't be put off by the location on google maps. Airport transfer etc you might want to have a car - also Dublin is easy to negotiate and find parking etc - so good to have both options. Car and tram. All in - no complaints at all.
