Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Perfect base for a family reunion/Irish adventure
We brought together 4 generations of our family from all corners of UK and beyond and needed a big house and this great big family home didn’t disappoint. It’s in a lovely part of Glassnevin, very residential but within striking distance of city centre, airport and ferry port. We had 11x adults and a 3 year old and we made full use of the 6 bedrooms and the massive lounge/dining space and great big kitchen. The real plus for us (weather was kind!) was the outdoor kitchen/BBQ which we used several times. It was great there were loads of books/board games as this meant there was plenty to do in our quieter moments. There was a high quality gastro/restaurant nearby (The Washerwoman) that was worth a visit, it’s a 5 min walk. The Gravediggers Arms is a classic (15 min walk) that needs to be experienced for traditional food and Guinness, the the Tolka House (10 min walk) was a good pub for day to day use. We were very well looked after by the owner and the support team locally, would recommend.

Bonne adresse
Grande maison confortable. Nous avons partagé cette location entre 4 adultes dans le cadre professionnel et 3 adolescentes qui nous ont accompagnées. Nous avons utilisé 5 chambres sur les 6 que compte le logement. La literie est de grande qualité, très confortable. La cuisine est bien équipée. La maison est située dans un quartier résidentiel, sur une route peu passante ce qui en fait un lieu calme. Deux arrêts de bus se trouve à 5 min et 10 min à pied. Un petit soucis de connection wifi a été rapidement résolu. A notre arrivée, nous avons tout de suite été prises en charge par une collaboratrice de Simon. Un paquet de biscuits et de quoi faire du thé et du café nous attendaient. Le logementest propre. Petit bémol : la maison bénéficie d'une grande verrière très agréable mais qui mériterait d'être nettoyée (de grosses toiles d'araignée et des vitres sales). Nous avons été obligées de nettoyer entièrement les meubles de jardin qui étaient très sales. Le jardinet est très bien entretenu et nous avons eu la chance d'utiliser la terrasse très souvent.Il nous a manqué des informations sur le recyclage des déchets et le fonctionnement des poubelles : en 2 semaines, nous n'avons pas découvert où jeter les déchets rassemblés dans les bacs prévus à cet effet. Globalement, nous recommandons fortement ce logement.

Beautiful fit for purpose accomodation
15 of us stayed in this house for a hen weekend. The house was well laid out and a great size for our group. We used both the living room and the dining room area at the back for meals. We used the front room as another bedroom and kept the beds up the whole time. I was in constant contact with Simon prior to our arrival and he gave us all the information we needed and more for our stay. The crisps, biscuits and water on arrival was greatly appreciated and so were the hot scones which were delivered on the Saturday Morning. We spent a lot of time in taxis that were expensive compared to Scotland but we expected that. We had one mis hap on the Saturday morning with a leak from the upstairs shower but it didnt put a dampner (excuse the pun) on the weekend. I contacted simon and the housekeeper staright away and a handyman was round in the next 30 mins. All in all a great stay and a great house. Would recommend for large groups and would definitely stay again.

All the comforts of home and valuable help from the house manager
We were a group of 9 - 2 seniors, 2 adults, and 5 children aged 11 - 18. Our party of 9 fit the bedroom sleeping spaces perfectly without the need to use any pull out couches. The rooms were all spacious with plenty of storage. Our favorite room was the wood paneled dining room. We found ourselves congregating there most mornings and evenings. It has a gorgeous view of the landscaped back yard (by night the outdoor string lights illuminate the garden). The kitchen is large and has everything you would need to prepare meals. The bathrooms were modern with plenty of hot water. Since we stayed in November, it was quite cold outside. The boys needed an extra heater (provided) in the "blue" room. That was the coldest bedroom. The "welcome package" with tea and bread, etc. was enough to get us through the first day so we didn't have to immediately run out to the store. The fresh flowers in the entry hall were a beautiful extra. The house is located within close walking distance of stores and restaurants. The Washerwoman's food was delicious and about a five minute walk away. Next to that was an Italian place to eat-in or for take away. A convenience store with ice cream was next door. When leaving the house, turn right to get to these spots. You can catch Bus 83 into the city centre from there. You can reach Glasnevin Cemetery and John Kavanaugh's The Gravedigger pub after a 15 minute walk. The Cemetery tour is a must see. The pub has been in business since the 1830's and is still run by the original family. When leaving the house and turning left, you will find a convenience store, post office, and Chinese take away. There is another bus stop with 4 bus routes that will take you right into the city centre. The house is located at the very end of Ballymun Road. It's a quiet little stretch of a larger, busy road. Some of our taxis had trouble finding it. It would be helpful to know that it is between Griffith Ave/R102 and Old Finglas Road. Since the house is some distance from city centre, be prepared to pay for transportation to/fro. We used the buses which are 2.70 Euro per adult per ride, 1.15 Euro per child per ride. The house manager (thanks, Vicky) kindly arranged taxis for all of our early morning transport needs to reach our day trips that left from city centre. Expect to pay from 12 to 15 Euro to get into the city. The Hailo app proved less expensive than taxis. The house manager was easy to reach via WhatsApp and always available to answer questions and lend assistance when we needed it. The owner, Simon, was easy to reach while coordinating the trip and provided lots of information about Dublin. I would recommend Near City Rentals to all of my friends and family who plan to visit Dublin.

Location and ammenities can't be beat
We just returned from a delightful week in Dublin. Our extended family group ranged from 2 to 89 and all had a good time. I must say that a few of the special features of the home make it stand out. The sun room/dining room is just perfect! Our family likes to eat together and play games/cards while on vacation and most often we rent a place based on this criteria above all else. The kitchen is truly unique. If I were to remodel a cottage I would take my ideas from this great layout. Everything we needed was available, AND 2 tea kettles! We used the grill and outdoor space every day. While we were hoping to take advantage of a forthcoming attic space/bedroom, Simon made everything work with roll-a-ways - Thanks! I am sure when this addition is finalized it will be wonderful. The location of this home is perfect. walk left to minutes to get to the 9.11.13.14 bus to downtown Dublin, or walk right to get to the 83 bus going into Dublin as well. By a Leap Card and leave your car at home. Also, it is a quick 10-15 ride to the airport! A few details- Eat at the Washerwoman (just around the corner) as much as possible!! This restaurant and her sister restaurant The Woolen Mills are absolutely wonderful!!!! We also ordered from Independent Pizza as we had a big group to feed when we first arrived. Payment, check-in and out and security refund processes were all smooth with no issues. Simon's staff that greeted us were very nice. Everything was as advertised. If I ever decide to geo back to Dublin I will definitely try to stay here again.

Gorgeous house in Dublin with great attention to detail, perfect for our family trip!
Our party of 10 had a wonderful time in this beautiful house! Away from the congestion of the very heart of Dublin, but a short (15-20 min) bus/taxi ride from all the action. It is situated in a nice neighborhood with botanic gardens, small shops, and great restaurants and pubs within walking distance (highly recommend the Washerwoman - excellent farm to table spot a five minute walk from the house). We were greeted by Geraldine on our arrival who was so gracious, got us all settled, quick tour, some yummy scones! We had arranged through the owner to have some basics delivered before our arrival from a local supermarket, and the owner had already stocked the house with some of these (tea/coffee/milk/biscuits). And was great to have such a short trip from the airport. The house was warm on a brisk morning and is so bright and full of light. Best heating system I've ever experienced in Ireland! The dining room is all glass and is just lovely any time of the day and has radiant heated floors. The pictures do not do it justice. Décor is traditional with a modern twist with a lot of very cool touches. House was very comfortable with more than enough space and well stocked with all the essentials. We were travelling with an infant and two toddlers and the house was kid friendly (cot, highchair, baby monitor, board games, and toys were provided!) So all were entertained. We had a bit too much rain to fully take advantage of the garden but we did have one great barbecue dinner using the outdoor grill and it was a serene space to look out at. And there was space for the kiddies to run around a bit outside. Geraldine was available for any questions we had, recommendations, etc. throughout our stay. John met us for check out and was available to help with anything we needed, make taxi arrangements, etc. Simon had also offered to book stuff before our arrival. So plenty of help just an email or text away!
