The area scores highly for walkability, with shops, restaurants, and the scenic waterfront all within easy reach.

Multiple local bus routes also serve the area. Dublin Airport is approximately a 30-40 minute drive or taxi ride away.

Car Considerations

A car is not necessary for daily life due to the excellent public transport and walkability. Limited on-site parking information is available, so it's advisable to check with the property directly if bringing a car.

The location has a high walkability score (89/100). Everything needed is within a short walk: the DART station, supermarkets, a variety of restaurants and cafes, and the harbourfront promenade. Taxis and ride-sharing services are readily available.

Key Distances

Challenges & Tips
