Absolutely lovely stay and would love to stay again! Deirdre was such a kind, thoughtful, and professional host, the space was beautiful, clean, exactly as portrayed in the pictures, and the surrounding area was picturesque — everything one could hope for in a trip to Ireland! We stayed for 2 weeks with our 20 month old daughter. We really enjoyed our stay!
In regards to staying with a child, some real details that may be helpful: Deirdre had a travel cot/pack’n play ready for us and it fit nicely in a little alcove in the bedroom. We used the clothing rack + blanket to create a temporary divider to make her bed nook darker, quieter, and to allow us to use the room when she was asleep and it worked great! (Sound machine was helpful!) She also prepared a few wonderful toys, books, and such for our daughter — very thoughtful and we used them every day! Kitchen was a little tricky for mealtime since she couldn’t be contained as there is only a bench, not a chair to strap a travel high chair to or room for a high chair — but she did well enough standing and sitting on the bench or sitting on one of our laps. No bathtub just a small shower so that was a little tricky but we managed — a note on the water: great pressure, heats extremely well but about every 10 seconds or so a burst of only hot water pours so be cautious when showering with child. The airbnb is located in a lovely countryside area just outside of the city — only 25-30 mins from the airport and downtown Dublin — however it is really only accessible by car. No sidewalks and it’s on a single lane road so walking with a stroller/buggy is hard/dangerous though people were very courteous drivers from our experience. There are lovely pastures connected to the property and also surrounding with animals — a big hit for our daughter. We loved going to see the cows and sheep! There is a little play set with a swing and slide in the yard for guest use as well and was another big hit. Overall, worked great staying with our toddler. I think traveling with a toddler is tricky no matter the circumstance and Deirdre made it more comfortable, happy, and kid-friendly for us!
