Quiet, residential area with parking, but nothing of interest nearby.
Pros:

The host was very friendly, and there was on site parking. The owners have cats and dogs. As an animal lover, it was nice to pet the cat when I got in.

Cons:

There was no breakfast. I had contacted the property to see if a coffee maker was supplied and they said yes, however, it turned out to be a tassimo so I couldn't make the coffee I'd brought. They had some coffee pods but they were awful tasting. There was no cream or sugar, which I don't use but some people do. My room was up two flights of stairs. There are no restaurants or pubs within walking distance, and obviously, you can't drink and drive so I didn't get to enjoy any evenings at a pub.

Lovely stay, in the right area to be outside of Dublin with a dog.
Pros:

The room was very clean and amenities all worked.
The owner was so friendly and helpful with recommendations of where to go in Dublin.
We felt very comfortable staying as we were told it doesn’t matter what time we get back as someone will be there to let us in and so they were.
There dogs in the house were super friendly.
The house was extremely quiet we weren't kept awake or disturbed at all during our stay.
Private parking right outside the house which had cameras so I knew my car was safe and secure.
The owner offered to feed our dog and offered her to come down to play with them dogs whilst we were both so we knew other dog was safe

Cons:

The location of the house was a bit difficult to get to due to being a new housing estate and the sat nav did not pick this up. However the owner met us at a nearby supermarket and showed us the way to go which was extremely helpful.

Very good
Pros:

Friendly family (not staff, this is a room in a family home).
Large room and modern bathroom.
Huge window with greenery and often bunnies.
Great location to catch an early flight, especially with super-easy check-out.

Cons:

Not a complaint but a headsup: In June 2025, the family has a newborn so this is not exactly a quiet stay if this is important to you.
