Mary's house is great,full of character and very cosy! My single room was very much alike in its aspect and was clean and convenient situated on second floor above the bathroom which is also large and easy to use. It was possible to use the kitchen for a coffee or a tea but the neighborhood of Ranelagh is so full of coffee shops that having your breakfast out while heading for the city centre was a real pleasure!! Mary the owner of the house is a very nice lady who speaks a perfect French.I didn't see her much because I left every morning very early to make the most of the time I had in Dublin for this perfect weekend!!Going to the centre of Dublin from Ranelagh is very simple and doesn't take more than 20 minutes so no need to pay for public transportation!! Dublin is also great for that because neither small not too large.I had no problem sleeping at night because the neighborhood is very quiet and residential.I highly recommend this single room in this very lovely house!
