Our neighbourhood was named one of the best places to live in Dublin and is extremely Central! There is a residential feel to it but in the city centre close to a lot of things! i.e. O’Connell St, Croke Park, Shops, Parks, Pubs, etc. Absolutely no need for a car as you can walk or take public transport pretty much anywhere from here. Also, you can use the freenow or bolt apps in Ireland (there’s no uber here), and you can use the Gocar app to rent cars by the hour.
Walking distances for reference:
-Connolly station (20 min)
-O’Connell Street (20 min)
-Temple Bar (25 min)
-Grafton Street & Trinity College (30 min)
-Gate Theatre (15mins)
-Abbey Theatre (20mins)
-Croke Park GAA (6mins)
Finally, even though we don't recommend it, if you must bring a car with you please plan accordingly for either a daily parking lot nearby or metered parking. We also have 24hr resident parking passes for 5 EUR per day but ask us first since they are first come first served and we do use them as well.
