Julie H., Redland

Perfect family holiday home
Excellent communication with Tim and Grannie before we arrived with detailed and clear instructions. Upon arrival we were pleased with all facets of the home. It had everything we needed for our family and was central to shops and transport. The best part was Valerie and her friendly and informative tips for exploring the wonderful city of Dublin. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone!

Great,clean and spacious apartments!
When we arrived the key was not in the box but as soon as I phoned up about it the neighbour Valerie was straight over to let us in, she was very helpful (and extremely friendly) in telling us how to get to places in the city which is only a short bus ride straight along from the apartment. It is in a great location with a tesco and spar across the road. The apartment itself was very clean and fitted with everything needed to self cater for the duration of our stay. Comfortable beds, great bathroom and has a washing machine and tumble dryer. Worth every penny!

Small but very comfortable studio apartment.
We stayed in the Parnell studio for 4 days and found it very comfortable, albeit a little smaller than it looks in the photo. The location was good - very easy to get to by car and excellent for city bus service or LUAS tram. Parking is great and very secure. Apartment was cozy and bathroom lovely. Some of the dishes and cooking equipment had been moved to other apartments by previous tenants and not replaced, but this issue was fixed immediately on email to Grainne. Great place to stay.

First Visit to Dublin
It was our first time in Dublin and we knew we did not want to stay in a hotel. We wanted to get the “local” feel. The property was perfect for what we needed. It was clean and the neighborhood was charming! We took taxis to and from the apartment, went to The Black Lion and bought our groceries from the Tesco Express.
Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2022

We loved living in this area and have many happy memories of our first home here.

I pay particular attention to detail and set the highest of standards in cleanliness and customer care.

Why they chose this property

We chose this location because of close proximity to downtown Dublin.

We loved the period red brick property with large rooms.
Fantastic large enclosed rear which is very private and unusual for a city centre property.

Easy access to any part of the countryside and still only 10 minutes from downtown.

Nice residential old part of Dublin with true Dublin characters in abundance.

Settled community with lots of nice neighbors whom you can be sure will speak to you if you bump into them.

All facilities such as banks, pharmacies, supermarkets, butchers, gas station, restaurants, pubs, hair and beauty salons, dry cleaners, etc on the street.

Super public transport with the Luas and Dublin bus.

What makes this property unique

The most unique benefit is the location.

Only 10 minutes from downtown Dublin with that real at home feeling when you arrive back after your day out.

The house was built in the 1800's and has a lovely spacious and tranquil feeling to it.

I love the large rooms and high ceilings with the original coving and open fire which is really cozy on a Winter's evening.

In the Summer time, we enjoyed many barbeques out back, and found it peaceful and quiet.

One huge benefit and highly unusual in a city apartment is the amount of both indoor and outdoor space.
