The location was a bit outside the city center, providing a fabulous introduction to life in Ringsend. The nearby park is lovely, and while the distance to city center was walkable, there are multiple bus routes that can easily take you where you want to go.

Absolutely charming place. Both the apartment itself and the location - could not have asked for a better place. The cottage is so welcoming and cozy, near a gorgeous little park and a lively yet quiet part of Dublin- a lovely place to come home after exploring the busy downtown Dublin streets. If you are looking for a home away from home in Dublin, I could not recommend this place more!

A nice little oasis in an industrial/residental area. Near a bus stop, so getting into town is not difficult. The shipyard across the street does work all night, but if you are a deep sleeper it isn't an issue.

Beautiful cottage, perfect location for Aviva (15 mins walk) also close by - Merry Cobbler, Irishtown House and the Vintage Inn all great pubs. Poolbeg ParkRun is 5 minutes away, and bus service right around the corner. For an industrial area at the docks, it was very quiet. Top notch.

We had a lovely stay in this house full of character. The location is great for reaching central Dublin but you still feel removed from the hustle and bustle. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well stocked with all we needed to cook. Billy was a fantastic host and was really helpful when we required a late check out.
