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 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.

INTERACTION WITH GUESTS I manage to meet most guests on arrival but if I can't I nearly always get to meet them before they check out. 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.
