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!
It is terrific to have guests like Michael. He makes all the work worthwhile. I wish him and his friends the very best and they will get an enhanced welcome if they return.
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.
Cozy and beatifully decorated cottage a short distance from the city center. We appreciated the comfy beds, fireplace, well appointed kitchen, and washer-dryer. Thanks very much, we hope to visit again!

Stephanie and friend were the ideal guests, kindness personified. They left very generous goodies for me. I would dearly like to welcome them back,

What a wonderful place! It’s in a quiet location but decently accessible to the city. Billy was a wonderful host and our time in Dublin went great! Thank you :)
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.

Karen and her friends were ideal guests. I appreciate their very complimentary comments. It is heartening to hear that they had a good time. Billy.
The Coastguard Station apartment is amazing! We loved that it's located outside the hub bub of Dublin. Just a short walk (10 mins) through beautiful Ringsend Park filled with families, a short wait at the bus stop and we were in Dublin city center in less than 15 mins. We only used a taxi to get to apartment from airport, then used public transport.The apartment had everything we needed. Loved the decor and the eclectic artwork, the books!! Beds were comfy and we liked having the space on the ground floor to relax. The kitchen was well stocked although we didn't use it much.The best meal we had during our entire Dublin stay was at the Oarsman Pub in Ringsend. We were there on Friday night and it was great fun. Filled with locals enjoying their start to the weekend. The clerks at the Tesco Express (groceries, etc) in town were so helpful. Being across from the docks was very interesting. We were fascinated by the process of loading and unloading the cargo containers. Great view from the bedroom window. The location away from Dublin might not be for everyone, but we loved it. Got us away from the touristy town center and yet easy to get there and back. It gave us a quiet place to unwind after our long flight and before the start of our Vagabond 8 day tour. Billy, the host, is an absolute gem.Highly recommend!!

Enjoyed our stay
Enjoyed our visit. Accommodation was a little smaller than expected, and there was no sofa. Very unique accommodation and we enjoyed our stay.
We loved our stay. Billy was available for our inquiries. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds are comfy. We were able to get taxis no problem and also walked through the area with no problems. Thanks for sharing your beautiful spot, Billy. Highly recommend.

It was an absolute delight to have Patti stay. She and her party were the ideal guests. Thank you very much. Billy.
It is a bit of a walk to downtown Dublin but a nice quiet location with a kitchen, living room and two great bedrooms. This stay was a very good choice for us.
This was a fun little property, quick cab ride into city center, or there was a nearby park which was a beautiful walk. I would definitely stay there again.
