Kid-friendly holiday rentals in South Dublin

This place is exactly as described and as shown on the photos. It is spacious, tastefully decorated, bright, and really well equipped. I stayed for 2 nights and I am already booked to come back in July!

Thanks Fionn, I might be back. Great location and bed was very comfortable

Very nice host, great place!

Nice, quiet neighborhood in Dublin, though turning onto the street can be a challenge for two-way traffic due to a line of rentable bicycles. Roomy, clean and very homelike. Living room was cozy for watching TV and relaxing. Lots of closet space. People we met in the neighborhood were very friendly. Accessible to areas of Dublin we wanted to see.

Aoife was a great host providing clear instructions for everything. The home was comfortable, although a bit tight for our bigger party (6 adults and 2 young children). Well stocked and in a nice location.

wonderful location, really good communication from the beginning . lovely quiet area with a lovely park near by. local shopping centre with a great butchers who did brilliant meal deals. from the moment we booked we were made to feel welcome.

We loved our stay! The house was great and so so beautiful! So many things right close by (food, bars, etc). Also totally possible to walk further into town to shops and even more restaurants and bars, etc. The beds were so comfy and the house had exactly what we needed! So much light and the bedroom in the back is AWESOME! We totally recommend staying here if you’re in Dublin! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Cozy and peaceful home easily accessible to and from downtown Dublin. Would definitely go back!

The stay was fantastic and quiet, Alex was a very good host with us, always answering any questions we might have at the time, everything together was great

Alan's place was perfect for my son's (21) and my first trip to Dublin. Alan greeted us when we arrived and helped us get acquainted with the home and loaned us adapters, umbrellas, and Leap cards for the bus system. Rathgar was a beautiful neighborhood! Quiet for sleeping and safe for night walks after dinner, with restaurants and grocery store just minutes from the home. I also discovered it is only a 9 minute walk from the birth home of James Joyce. The set up of the 2 bedrooms gave my son and I plenty of space away from each other, as we had different activity schedules. I was there to celebrate Ulysses on Bloomsday and my son enjoyed the energy of the Temple Bar scene. Getting to Central Dublin was a breeze with the bus stops a short walk away. I highly recommend Alan's place!

Location, location, location. We stayed at Helen's apartment for 4 nights in June 2025. First off, Helen was very communicative and extremely friendly in her messages before we arrived. She met us at the meeting place and gave us an informative overview of the area and tour of the property. We were 4 adults and the property was very comfortable. The bedrooms / beds were comfortable as well. A nice central room with dining table and couches - and a kitchen with dishwasher / washer / dryer and microwave. We appreciated the Nespresso machine. Although we didn't cook ourselves (with all the take-away options and pubs nearby), the kitchen was well stocked with condiments, etc.,. The bathrooms were clean and functional. However what is really impressive about the property is the location. Right across from Christchurch with airport and local bus connections. Walkable to all the sights like Temple, Trinity, Liffey, the Liberties, Guiness / Roe & Co. And views from the bedrooms!

Mark was a responsive and flexible host. He provided information prior to arrival, on how to access property, on public transport, and with recommendations on places to eat & drink. The photos didn’t do the property justice. It was well decorated, cosy but spacious, clean, and comfortable. The location is in a quiet residential area away from the hustle and bustle, it is a short walk to the bus / tram stops for the city. I would definitely recommend this property, and will visit again.

Excellent location in one of Dublin's most interesting neighbourhoods. Close to many attractions such as the Guiness Storehouse, St. Patrick's Cathedral and Christchurch. There are two cafes right across the street and a lovely local pub called the Liberty Belle where Tracy will happily teach you the perfect "Guiness pour". Also conveniently close to Heuston train station. The apartment itself is spacious and comfortable with all necessary amenities in great working order.

Steve is a rock star of Airbnb hosts. He is proactive, warm, provides a wealth of worthwhile recs, and greets you upon arrival and reviews everything about the house and area. Wow. He was accommodating with our schedule, which we really appreciated. He left some snacks and the house was stocked with essentials. When I emailed, he responded ASAP. Amazing. The apartment is sweet and has a charm. Highlight was the patio as we were blessed with beautiful weather. Loved the sauna! The apartment building itself is worn as is the staircase in the building and the stairwell. Feels like typical city living, but the area is great and easily walkable to most things. Furthest walk was the jail at 30 min but otherwise most things about 15, and Guiness Storehouse is around the corner. Grocer, great bakeries and coffee shops right out the door. All in all, an excellent stay.

Peaceful and homey place to stay out of the bustle of Dublin town centre. Hosts were very accommodating and so gracious in allowing me to stay longer when I fell ill at the end of my trip — a responsive host always makes a difference! It is a simple, real living apartment with some quirks to get used to, but perfect for a quiet respite and close to good stores for grocery, meds and coffee. Easy to get to all the sights by bus or a long stroll.

We had a wonderful time in Dublin. Roddy’s apartment was in a great position, easy to walk to the Temple Bar area. A great supermarket close by and a great little pub close, where they have great Irish music. I would definitely stay here again if I came back to Dublin.

We stayed at Diarmuid’s place for three days while in Dublin. We found it exceptionally clean and comfy. The location was in a quiet neighborhood, with the exception of football games in the field next door, those Irish children can sure cheer, lol. It was about 4 klms to Temple Square/Downtown, we walked it the first day, and some of it other days. You can take # 13 bus right outside the apartment, which brings you right downtown, take that one back as well.

Great place in Dublin within walking distance to some nice local places to eat and drink and a nice walk into the city centre also. very friendly and helpful. would stay again

It was amazing. The location is perfect.

Claire’s place was great! It’s close to many Dublin attractions was quiet and comfortable each night. Claire was very responsive and helpful throughout the check-in and checkout process. We had issues with getting online after landing in Ireland, and she was very quick to reply and help us get checked in.

Great place to stay for a few days. Very walkable neighborhood. A lot of restaurants, pubs, and shops. You definitely don’t need a car. Metro bus right at door stop. Taxi’s everywhere. Great area.

Noel’s place is in a great location in the Liberties. The apartment is walkable to everything in the immediate City Centre. The space is clean and spacious. A couple of things to note for American travelers, there are no outlets in the bathroom, which is typical in Europe. Also, this specific unit does not have a television. There is a fairly steep set of stairs leading to the apartment, so that is something to think about for people with mobility issues. We absolutely loved Noel’s place and appreciate his responsiveness. Would absolutely recommend and would stay again.

This apartment is in a beautifully restored Catholic Church. We had stayed in a different apartment in the same building years ago, so we knew we loved the area. The renovation of Mark's place is extremely well done, and a lot of the original Gothic features are still incorporated in the design. The neighborhood has a lot of small cafes and restaurants nearby, and it's an easy walk of 15 minutes or so to the Temple Bar and tourist areas. (Try the Fresh grocery store along the way back to pick up some great salads and baked goods!)

We had a perfect stay. We chose the apartment because of the central location and posibility for four separate beds, and it was exactly what we wanted. All communication was smooth, with quick replies and everything was easy to understand. The beds were really nice, and two bathrooms was a luxury.
