Many appreciate the convenient location, noting easy access to both the airport and Dublin city center, with bus stops nearby for a quick 10-15 minute ride into town, although some have found the self-service breakfast a bit limited.

really good experience!

quiet area convenient access parking passes lovely garden
the location is in a quiet residential area with convenient bus access to the city center. several good restaurants are within a short walk from the house. the owner provided parking passes for free street parking and ensured i had everything i needed.
The room i stayed in had slightly limited space for storing luggage. It was a little inconvenient.

a decent stay

attentive host beautiful detail quiet location limited option self-service breakfast no instructions
jack was an amazing host. he was attentive to all our needs. the room was also beautifully decorated with effort put into every little detail. the quiet location was a bonus. a zen deck with an umbrella was available for enjoyment.
The breakfast service could have been better. we expected breakfast included. but it was self-service with limited options. there were no clear instructions for the coffee machine. We figured it out eventually.

cute owner mountain spring water free parking constant noise water tank little service
The owner was very cute. The room had a special water tap for mountain spring water. I found free parking available and pubs were a short walk away.
I heard a constant noise from the water tank on the roof. This was quite distracting. I didn't see the owner much, so there was no one around during breakfast.
