About this property
Fabulous apartment in great location, short walk to Dublin Zoo and city centre
Refurbished to an extremely high standard this beautiful Victorian house has all the classic charm of years gone by but has all the modern comforts of today.
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.

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.

This was a wonderful location for my family of four to connect with friends based in Cabra and Stoneybatter. 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!
Right from beginning communication was excellent. 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

Thank you so much for your wonderful review.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us and we hope you can come back soon again to stay.
Until then take care

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.

Hi there
Thank you for the great review.
We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and you loved the location.
Sorry that you had some disturbance from the upstairs guests but this is a rarity and as you say probably due to the high spirits of the time of year.
We hope you can come back and stay with us again in the very near future.
Until then take care.
Fiona and Liam
Gute Ausgangsstation für unsere Aktivitäten in Dublin, gute Verkehrsanbindung (Bus). Objekt für 2 Erwachsene u. 2 Kinder ausreichend groß. Deutlich besser als Hotelaufenthalt.

About the host
Hosted by Liam & Fiona Travers
I grew up in Kildare which is about 45 minutes from Dublin and worked for many years in my parents hotel there.
I emigrated to New York for a number of years and when I returned in 1990 I purchased this property in Dublin City.
As I am a qualified builder and carpenter I undertook to restore this house over a number of years and restore it to some of its former glory. As you can see from the pictures there are a lot of original features which I managed to retain and I am pleased that I can finally share them with people from all over the world.
I am now living in Kildare again and am married with a daughter.
As my parents before me I am committed to providing all of my guests with a wonderful holiday experience in a beautiful period house. I am available at all times for my guest either by phone or email and am happy to answer any query.
Why they chose this property
I chose this location for the proximity to the city centre and of course the beautiful Victorian Redbrick lined North Circular Road.
These properties are a feature of Dublin and are preserved by Dublin Council. The fact that the Phoenix Park and the Botanic gardens are within walking distances is an absolute plus, providing plenty of recreational activity. Numerous pubs, restaurants are within walking distance and I feel that the house provides a sense of character and charm not matched by modern buildings and houses.
What makes this property unique
There are a number of benefits to staying in this property. Located close to the heart of the city of Dublin there is an excellant transport system by bus and light rail that means all of the sights can be visited with the minimum of fuss. The building itself is a beautiful Victorian property that has unique charm while offering all the modern comforts that a guest could expect.
The location is ideal as it is quiet while being convenient to all shopping, sights, transport, museums etc. that makes a holiday. Located beside the Phoenix park which is Europe's largest urban park the traveller can have a taste of the country while still remaining in the city.
There truly is something for everyone.
