Barbara, the property manager, was very accessible and a pleasure to work with. However, upon arrival we were warned we cannot take showers back-to-back as water heater is very small. That was an overstatement. We could not take more than a 5 minute shower without losing all hot water and taking cold showers. We stayed there March 11-22. Cold water was frigid. For a family with two kids, this is not ideal. Heat and electric are extra charges.
The house was clean, typical rental. Some wall scuffs, but overall clean. Beds were hard. As in the beds could be used for trampolines. Linens were clean, but beds were not too comfortable. Living room and kitchen were decent size and comfortable. TV had 6 channels to watch (not what we were there for, but night time viewing would've been nice).
Location was great. 20 minutes to downtown Dublin. 35 minutes to Trim. 10 minutes to Malahide Castle (great playground for kids too). 5 minutes from downtown Swords. Not a walkable location to Swords. Rental car is a necessity as public transport not walkable (especially for kids).
Overall I would not recommend this rental due to the water heater situation. I am not exaggerating when I state hot showers lasted at best 5-8 minutes. Not ideal for winter. Not ideal for families where multiple people would like to shower one after another.
