This is a truly historic home with many modern amenities. John is a phenomenal host and resource for conveniences in the area, recomnendations for "must sees" and all things Ireland. There was enough space for all of us to be together - yet enough space so you did not have to live together all week. Very convenient location within walking distance of most Dublin attractions. A beautifully curated piece of history with all the charms of home. Highly recommend staying here when visiting Dublin

This place is spacious! Big rooms, 1 large bathroom, nice kitchen and eating/gathering space. Host John is very gracious and a great communicator! Lots of recommendations from him. Location is 20--30 walk to central Dublin or you can hop on public transportation easily. Sleeps 6 comfortably. One bathroom can be challenging for a full house. Parking on the street is open and easy. Kitchen has lots of amenities that are great for saving money on eating out. We made breakfast and dinner almost every day. Extra pillows on the beds would make this a 5 star stay.

An excellent property in the heart of Dublin.

Upon check in host gave a tour of the property and gave a bunch of recommendations of things in the area that were worth checking out. The house had plenty of room for the 5 of us was well maintained. Host was friendly, communicative, and helpful The place is located next to several transit stops that made it easy to get to any part of the city quickly. Also it was quite easy to walk to most places in Dublin given how centrally located the place is. Our flight out of Dublin was pretty early (2 in the morning) and the host was able to offer a solution of the check out being that early. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is traveling in a group that wants to see everything Dublin has to offer.

John, the host, was so amazing! He left a ton of recommendations and information for us to look at, and met us at the property when we arrived to walk us through the house and show us everything! The house was also extremely clean, and I am a clean freak so I check things like the baseboards etc, everything was immaculately kept and the original charm was awesome! We would definitely recommend this property!

My husband and I stayed a month. We walked everywhere. John was there to greet us on the first day and he was so accommodating. He actually brought us on a tour of the neighborhood on the second day. Anytime we had a question or a problem he helped us. We have been coming to Dublin for years and we never had the opportunity to explore this side of the city.

Great location

The history on the flat is wonderful and it is well placed between the airport and within a mile of most tourist attractions. The property manager reached out several times to check on us and give suggestions for nearby places to visit that were not as touristy. The neighborhood was dirty but not sure I could take a star off for that since the seagulls are to blame, kind of. I did take one star off for the mattresses. We all woke up daily with pain in our backs. Overall we all had a wonderful time.

The seagulls are the cause of the rubbish issues on the street. They enjoy ripping the waste bags apart in search of breakfast. Surprised to hear you found the beds uncomfortable? All beds have mattress tops for extra comfort. But thanks for the feedback and I will monitor future reviews in this regard. Thanks for your reservation
