The Neighbourhood
Location & setting
Islandbridge sits on the south bank of the River Liffey, on the western edge of Dublin 8. The apartment is a two-minute walk from the Irish War Memorial Gardens — one of the most beautiful and least-visited green spaces in Dublin — and five minutes on foot from Phoenix Park, where 1,750 acres of open parkland, running trails and cycling routes are free and always open.
Getting into the city
The number 25 and 66 buses stop at the end of the road and run to the city centre in around fifteen minutes. Heuston Station is a twelve-minute walk, with direct trains to Cork, Limerick, Galway and Kilkenny. The Red Line Luas (Heuston stop) connects to the city centre in five minutes.
Eating & coffee
Kilmainham village is ten minutes on foot and has a good independent coffee scene — Cobblestone Coffee and The Fumbally (fifteen minutes by bike) are the local favourites. For evenings, The Belfry on Bow Lane and An Caislean on Old Kilmainham Road are solid neighbourhood options. Portobello and Camden Street are twenty minutes by bike and well worth the ride for dinner.
Culture & green space
IMMA — the Irish Museum of Modern Art — is a ten-minute walk through the Royal Hospital Kilmainham grounds, which are free to enter and worth exploring in their own right. Kilmainham Gaol is five minutes away by bus or taxi. The Phoenix Park Magazine Fort, the Wellington Monument and the Dublin Zoo are all within the park boundary.
For remote workers
The apartment has a dedicated workspace desk with task lamp and high-speed Wi-Fi. For days when you want a change of scene, The Fumbally in the Liberties is the best café workspace in the area — large tables, good coffee, no pressure. Co-working in the city centre is 25 minutes by bus.

Guest Reviews
"First time in Ireland and my host made this experience a great one that will make me want to come back more often! I hope next time I come back this apartment is available!"
"If this place is available for your dates do not hesitate to book. Very comfortable as a holiday rental and work space and internet supported all my business needs."
"Fantastic apartment. The area is gorgeous and convenient and the couch is surprisingly comfortable. Host was responsive and lovely. I'd live there if I could."
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this Dublin 8 apartment. It's not directly right in the heart of Dublin (which we preferred as it's a bit quieter) but is extremely accessible by transit and easy to get to. The space was clean, furniture was comfortable and we felt right at home."
"The place is not far from the city centre, only one bus ride away, located nearby a beautiful War Memorial park. The apartment is clean and charming. I highly recommend it."
"Very cosy place. Warm surroundings. The apartment is very clean and quiet. Parking was easy to manage. We will be back."
"Excellent little flat, perfect for what I needed for a long weekend. Located in a quiet new build with a couple of parks close by. Bus stop 5 mins away that goes straight into Dublin, a 15-minute bus ride. Great spot, clean, tidy and warm. Would recommend."
"Great first experience in Ireland. The apartment had everything I needed and the location near the river was lovely and peaceful. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting Dublin."
