About this property

Apt sleeps 5 within walking distance to city, park 10 min walk and zoo 15 min


We have called this apartment The Samuel Beckett after the famous Irish novelist. A recently refurbished apartment that sleeps 4-5 comfortably ideally situated close to the Phoenix Park and Botanic Gardens.

This is a modern City stay with all home comforts. Within easy reach of all the fabulous restaurants, museums, parks, Guinness Brewery, Trinity College, Kilmainham Gaol, Farmleigh House and of course shopping that Dublin has to offer.

Easy walk to numerous bus stops and train stations that will connect you with the Luas which will connect you with all of Dublin.

There are also a number of restaurants within a 10 minute walk from the apartment which we can highly recommend. There are numerous pubs and some have traditional Irish music on a regular basis all within walking distance as well.

There are 2 major supermarkets within a 5 minute walk so you will never run out of essentials.

All mod cons are provided and there is linen and towels freshly laundered for your use. A hairdryer is provided as well.

This apartment is in a beautiful large red brick Victorian building on a tree lined street.

The apartment consists of one bedroom with both a double and single bed and in the living room there is a leather pull down sofa that makes another double bed.

There is a separate kitchen and dining area and of course a bathroom.

It's located on the ground floor at the back of the house and is particularly quiet and peaceful so you can relax after a busy day sightseeing.

Amenities include fridge, microwave, cooker, hob, dishwasher and washer dryer so that anyone considering an extended stay can enjoy all the comforts of home.

Cots and high chairs can be provided should they be required.

For anyone considering exploring Ireland further there is a car hire company within easy reach and a train station 5 minutes walk away. The famous Guinness Brewery is close at hand as well as the Jameson Distillery both of which run tours regularly and are worth a visit. Dublin is also renowned for it's famous Temple bar area for entertainment which is a bus ride away. For art lovers the Irish Museum of Modern Art is 15 minutes away and the National Museum of Ireland is 10 minutes away.

There really is something for everyone.

Wonderful neighborhood -- everything you could ever want/need is a short walk from the front door.The only reason it wasn't five-stars for every category is that the Wi-Fi did not work well in our unit (it worked very well in the hallway, but our unit was in the back of the building, and in the ground level). Fiona was incredibly responsive and accommodating with all of our inquiries and requests.

Wonderful Apartment!

Liam was a great host and the apartment was wonderful! It was quiet enough because it is a little bit of a walk from downtown Dublin, but we enjoy walking and made the trek almost every day. There are a couple of places to eat a short walk away as well as a grocery store. We will definitely be staying here when we return to Ireland!

Great apartment, great location

Four friends and I stayed at the Apartment for a long weekend in mid July. The apartment was very well equipped, had a great shower and was very quiet. The location was also great, being just a 10 minute taxi from the city centre and a bus stop directly across the road. We had a great stay and would not hesitate in recommending the apartment for other.

Felt Right at Home

Spacious, clean, and well stocked, this apartment was perfect for a week in Dublin. We particularly liked how close we were to Phoenix Park (playground and Dublin Zoo), where we were able to catch a Hop On/Hop Off bus for a tour of the city. Being close to a major supermarket was also great, but best of all was Liam's hospitality and swift responses to any and all questions we had before and after our arrival.

Perfect Location - Wonderful Hosts

My family and I stayed at Liam's flat a while back, but I wanted to take time to tell everyone how fabulous it was. Considering location, it is located within easy access to the airport and all major highways. It is also close to downtown (Temple Bar) so that if you have a late dinner the flat is located about 10 minutes away, which was really great. Liam was an excellent host and was extremely kind to give tips on how to find our way around and even for day trips out of the city. Wonderful stay - highly recommended!

Nice little place but very tight for 4 adults. Construction occuring on units to both sides so very noisy, beginning at 6:30 am when construction workers started to arrive. No way to sleep or nap between 6:30 am-5:00 pm. Difficult to park since only street parking in front of the apartment is available and it was almost full. You can park in the neighborhood around the corner but must pay and limited to 3 hours during the day.

Wonderful Experience!

Having communicated with us several times prior to our arrival with helpful information, Liam met us at the apartment to welcome us and help us get settled for our stay in Dublin. The accommodations were comfortable, clean and conveniently located near bus routes into the center city. We really enjoyed ourselves and have recommended the property to our friends. Thanks again, Liam!

Excellent accomodation

Liam is a very kind person and a very helpful host. We arrived in Dublin when he was away from the city, but all was clearly arranged for our stay. The apartment is clean an very nice, it's located near the city centre, 5 stops from O'Connel Street by bus and about 20 minutes by walk. Thnk you Liam!

What a great place.

Liam , thanks for a wonderful Long weekend we spent at your apartment in Dublin, we really found it to be central to everything we wanted and we were able to see all the sights and come back and get rested for the next days outing. We were going to stay at a hotel but found this to be much better value for money and the kids loved having the room to spread out. Thanks again ,we will recommend it to our friends and family when they travel to Dublin. Colm and Tara

Perfect accomodation

We stayed in this apartment for a week and everything was perfect! The house was very comfortable , clean and equipped with everything you need : toaster, washing machine , dryer , dishwasher. A few steps you can find the bus stops that allow you to reach downtown in minutes! Liam greeted very well making us find something to eat after the trip , and gave us all the necessary information about transport and places to visit. We're really happy to be here and if we ever return to Ireland ( hopefully soon ) we would love to stay here again !

A beautiful apartment with many special touches!

We loved this Dublin apartment, and Liam was wonderful to work with! He promptly answered all my questions before, during and after our booking. He greeted us at the apartment and was armed with groceries "native" to Dublin to get us started. The treats were above and beyond anything we could have imagined. The apartment was beautiful and spotless! We highly recommend it!

Great Place to Stay

My husband and I just completed a European trip, including a 3 night stay in Dublin. This apartment was perfect. Close to transportation, warm and inviting, nicely furnished. The big deal for me was the warm welcome and attentive feel of the owners. It felt like being welcomed into someone's home for a visit. They were always available if we needed something, but we found nothing lacking in the apartment so didn't need to bother them. Would absolutely stay again if the opportunity arose. Thanks to the owners for a great home base for our short, but pleasurable, stay in Dublin.

Best kept secret in Dublin!

The Samuel Beckett apartment was wonderful. Clean, spacious, quiet and in a lovely neighborhood. I am actually writing this review "reluctantly" as I told Liam, as I don't want it to be booked on my next vacation to Ireland! It's a lovely 25 minute walk into town if you like to walk, or a two minute walk to the bus stop. We loved running in Phoenix Park (5 minutes away), crossing the James Joyce bridge, visiting the Museum of Modern art, shopping at Tesco...I could go on and on! Great vacation and very comfortable accommodations. We miss it already!

All the comforts of home

I had a wonderful stay here! The accomodations were spotless and very tastfully appointed. The location was excellent ! A bus right near the front door came every 7-8 minutes and went to the heart of Dublin. There was an ATM and very good supermarket nearby, and Liam had thoughtfully provided fruit, biscuits,butter and milk, which saved some initial to-ing and fro-ing for me. He was also very helpful in every regard - especially in suggesting day trips I might find interesting. I'd love to return to Dublin, as there is so much to see and do, and truly hope that when I do, this property will be available for me to stay at again.

Perfect Base for taking in Dublin, room for four.

We were very happy with the apartment ,its location, and how very helpful and cheery Liam was to us. He met us upon arrival and he set the tone for our visit. We had plenty of room for 4 of us, the internet worked well, and did the TV. We only cooked once, but once I figured out the stove, it made our pizza. There is a Tesco right up the street for any needs, we walked to the Jameson Distillery, and drove everywhere else. Very convenient. I am guessing public transportation would be a snap to the downtown area. I definitely would stay here again if we make our way back to Dublin.

What a pleasent Suprise

Its always great to get more than you expected! Liam has a fabulous Apt. which is defiantly within walking distance (a good walk) of the downtown core! Kate and I so enjoyed the walk and on those occasions were time was an issue we just walked a 1/2 block to the bus which dropped us on the main strip in about 10min. The Apt has everything you could want and was immaculate and so so comfortable. We felt at home and would recommend it to anyone. We also walked to the Heuston train Station within about 10-12 minutes! The location is fabulous...... Liam we loved it and hope to visit again in the near future.

The BEST Option in Dublin!

Having this WONDERFUL house to retreat to when we visited Dublin made our trip so much more enjoyable. From the very first day, Liam was there waiting for us at the house to make sure we had the perfect stay. From the little details like wireless internet and a booklet of information to help get you started, to an immaculate clean and well kept house, this is the BEST place to stay in Dublin from VRBO - especially for the price! You just can't beat it. There is a bus stop right outside the house that takes you directly to the center of the city (just a short 10 minute trip). When the buses stopped running late at night, we could either take a nice walk back to the house or pay no more than 9 Euros for a taxi from the city centre. You are just a short walk from Phoenix Park, the most magnificent park in Ireland. It's a GREAT location at an unbeatable price. I can't say enough good things about the house, Liam, and our time in Dublin. Thank you so much for making our trip!

So Cozy!

We can't say enough good things about our stay at the Sam Beckett apartment. Our driver, Vincent, was there to pick us up in no time and gave us quite a few tips on sightseeing on our drive to the apartment. Liam met us to give us a brief rundown on the apt. and the area, bus routes etc.. We found the apartment to be very comfortable, extremely quiet and supplied with some basics to get us started. Liam was very quick to arrange taxi pickups for us when we needed them. Bus 46a picks up right outside and is very efficient for getting to downtown. We did not experience any problems with water pressure in the shower and the washer/drier worked nicely as well. We took Vincent up on one of his suggestions to go to Howth and enjoyed a very nice cliff walk there. We would certainly recommend this apartment, or any apartment managed by Liam for a nice stay in Dublin. Thanks, Terry and Courtney

Excellant Apartment

We found this apartment to be exactly as advertised, except that there was no "welcome pack" provided. It is a clean, comfortable, and, quiet apartment, with easy access to the many attractions that Dublin has to offer. For those who don't mind walking, it's a 20 minute leisurely walk to the river Liffey, 40 minutes to the Ha' Penny bridge, and, 50 minutes to Trinity College. If walking is not desired, you can catch bus #39A only a couple of minutes away from the apartment, which will then take you to the city center. Bus fare was 1.20 euro per person. Liam, the owner, was very helpful getting us situated in the apartment. Those who do not have a mobile phone with international calling, or, do not want to incur that expense, should know that no phone is provided in the apartment for making local calls. Response to our communication with the owner via text message could have been a little better, but, that may have been a transmission problem. All things considered, I would not hesitate to recommend this apartment to a friend or relative. We enjoyed our stay in Dublin.

Great home base in Dublin

Prior to our arrival in Dublin, Liam was very helpful and arranged for a driver to pick us up in Dublin. Sure enough, when we arrived, Garry was right outside the arrival hall and shuttled us to our apartment. The building was not very far from the airport so we were there in no time. Fiona met us at the apartment and offered great suggestions on what to see, eat, and do while we were in Dunlin. Samuel Beckett was a great home base for our stay in Dublin. The apartment pictures are quite accurate, but there is also a comfy sitting room that is right off the front door to the apartment. The wifi is in there and that's the best place to be if you want to connect with the Internet. There was more than enough room for my husband, young son, and I to spread out. The apartment is quite clean and well-maintained. It was awesome to have a washer/dryer right in the apartment. With the tankless water heater (everywhere in Ireland , our showers were nice and warm. The apartment was also very quiet!As previously mentioned, the apartment is not far from the City Centre by bus. The bus runs quite frequently, too. Best part is that the bus stops are very close by (the bus stop for the bus heading to the City Centre is less than a 2 minute walk away; the bus stop returning from the City Centre is right across the street). We walked to some great dinners at FX Buckley and L. Mulligan Grocer. Phoenix Park and the Dublin Zoo are just a 10-15 minute walk away. Thanks Liam and Fiona for a great stay.

Why they chose this property

I chose this location for the proximity to the city centre and of course the beautiful Victorian Redbrick lined North Circular Road.These properties are a feature of Dublin and are preserved by Dublin Council. The fact that the Phoenix Park and the Botanic gardens are within walking distances is an absolute plus, providing plenty of recreational activity.

What makes this property unique

There are a number of benefits to staying in this property. Located close to the heart of the city of Dublin there is an excellant transport system by bus and light rail that means all of the sights can be visited with the minimum of fuss. The building itself is a beautiful Victorian property that has unique charm while offering all the modern comforts that a guest could expect.
The location is ideal as it is quiet while being convenient to all shopping, sights, transport, museums etc. that makes a holiday. Located beside the Phoenix park which is Europe's largest urban park the traveller can have a taste of the country while still remaining in the city.
There truly is something for everyone.
