Each apartment has been lovingly restored and where possible the original features have been kept such as the marble fireplace and the high ceilings with coving. This gives a feeling of space and airiness that is hard to find in modern accommodations. All of our apartments have a fully equipped kitchen with oven, microwave, cooker, fridge, iron, ironing board and hairdryer to make sure that your stay is as comfortable as can be. Freshly laundered bed clothes and towels are also provided. Laundry facilities are available also to guests free of charge. Maps and information leaflets are provided in the apartment to help guests choose the best sights and things to do and see while staying there. There is an excellent bus service right outside the front door so you can reach downtown in 10 minutes or less. Buses run regularly and are reliable. We suggest getting a Leap card to make life easier as most buses require exact change. We are just a 3 minute walk from the supermarket which also has a pharmacy, bakery and butchers so you will have everything you need. There are some lovely restaurants just 10 minute walks away and some wonderful pubs that play Irish music nightly. The famous Guinness Storehouse is close at hand as well as the Jameson Distillery both of which run tours regularly and are worth a visit. Dublin is also renowned for it's famous Temple bar area for entertainment which is a bus ride away. For art lovers the Irish Museum of Modern Art is 15 minutes away and the National Museum of Ireland is 10 minutes away. Trinity College, Kilmainham Gaol, Ryan's Victorian Pub, St. Patricks Cathedral, are just some other of the many wonderful attractions that are available. If you enjoy a stroll in the park then you are perfectly located to visit the beautiful Phoenix Park which has a playground and houses Dublin Zoo. It is well worth a visit and is only an 8 minute walk away. Bike hire is available here also. For a small fee we can provide an airport transfer if requested and for anyone hiring a car there is free on street parking right outside the house. All utilities and WiFi are included in the price also. We hope we have provided enough information here for you but please don't hesitate to contact us if you need any further details.

INTERACTION WITH GUESTS I'm always available by phone or email and am happy to assist guests in any way I can. If I'm unable to meet guests on arrival I will email details of where to find the keys on arrival. THE NEIGHBOURHOOD This is a residential area and our property is located on a beautifully tree lined which runs right up the the entrance of the Phoenix Park. This park is the largest urban park in Europe and houses Dublin Zoo and the presidential home and offices as well as a children's playground. It is a wonderful park to visit and spans over 1750 acres. The street also has beautiful Victorian red bricked houses all along it which date back to the 18th century so it really is a taste of old Dublin. There is a major supermarket just 3 minutes walk as well as a pharmacy, bakery, coffee shops, bars, restaurants and many other amenities all within easy walking distance. GETTING AROUND There are several bus routes right outside the house which will take you directly to the city centre in less than 10 minutes. The 46A is a bus that stops right outside the house and will take you straight into the city. Busses are regular and reliable and we suggest getting a Leap card to make paying fares a little easier. This is available from most newsagents. You can walk to the centre of Dublin as well in approx 30 minutes. We are just a few minutes from the light rail system called "The Luas" which services the outer regions of Dublin if you plan on exploring outside of the city centre.

There is no shortage of good food and cafes nearby and any traveler needs are also easily acquired. Fiona and Liam are responsive and warm. We highly recommend this spot! ##### Kelly T.

Apartment is big and beautiful. We even utilized the sleeper sofa and there were no complaints. Location was a good walk to city center but we did it w no issues except tired toes. The only issue we had was parking, but not a big deal, finding a free spot was touch but we only had to pay for a few hours so bring some coins just in case. Neighborhood is safe as well. And the shower was the best I had on my 2 week trek through Ireland ##### Jill K. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 14 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Holiday Trip to Ireland We had a great visit to Dublin at the end of 2023\. The apartment was exactly as we expected - cozy, clean, and well-equipped with easy access to public transportation, grocery stores, and restaurants. There is this fantastic little pub about a block away with the friendliest owner and wait staff if you enjoy watching a game over a pint of Guinness. Fiona is a great host - good communication, accommodating our travel needs, and so forth. Our upstairs neighbors, also visiting Dublin for the holiday season, were quite loud a couple of nights but that was likely due to the festivities and by no means a reflection on Fiona and Liam. If we ever find ourselves back in Dublin, we'd be happy to be stay in this apartment again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### David R. 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The building was charming and apartment was perfect for accommodating our family.
