“We spent very pleasant days in this house. It's very charming and comfortable. The district of Phibsborough is near the city center (walking, or by bus), so this house is perfect to visit Dublin that is a very interesting town. We could also see the countryside around Dublin, with a lot of spectacular landscapes, neolithic or medieval sites. We enjoyed our holidays, and we recommend very much Orla's and Ken's house.
