The house is located within a few minutes walk of Dalkey village. There are many nice shops and restaurants there and you don't need to go further afield. The DART can take you to the city in about 25 minutes.
The house itself is spacious and can easily fit a family. The conservatory was a really nice space to chat, relax and hangout. We managed six people around the dinner table when we had some friends over. While there is very little garden, the outside space provides a sheltered space when you want to sit outside. All the facilities worked very well for us (bathrooms, Wi-Fi, TV, kitchen and washing machine).
There is single parking space with the house which can be a bit tricky to get in and out - we managed with a VW T4 multivan . The few other parking spaces are shared with the neighbours.
The neighbours were very nice and we really enjoyed being locals again in our old area.
