The property was every bit as described! Location was perfect: a quiet residential area with plenty of pubs and shops just a few minutes away. The house itself is beautiful and worked out perfectly for my family of nine (mother, her 2 grown children and their spouses and 4 grandkids). Parking isn't an issue at all, so on the days we ventured out of Dublin to Belfast or Kilkenny for example, we got back and didn't need to drive around looking for parking (both on property and on street in front of house). We never got to meet the owners of the property, but we corresponded through email and had their ohone number and they were quick to respond to any inquiries we had. All in all, I don't think you'll find a better residential property in Dublin!
