Multi generation stay

It worked perfectly as elderly parents could sleep on the ground floor although it was a fair walk to the bathroom at the back of the house for them so just be aware of that.We already knew the area so its reasonable for a taxi to and from the airport and also into town. Bus was easily accessible for younger family members but not for parents as couldn't walk that far. However, we knew that, but its something to be mindful.of. Also be aware there are no railings on the few steps up to the house which Ihadn't particularly noticed from the pictures. Lounge is great size, as is dining room. Courtyard garden is lovely and we've bought my oarents one of the plants you'll find in the garden to remind them of the trip.

Amazing stay!! Would definitely stay again!!

Overall, this place was great!! Plenty of room, modern amenities, excellent kitchen, and clear instructions on how to get in, very secure, and safe. Access to a grocery account so we could have the fridge stocked and ready when we arrived was also very good. The BBQ in the garden was spectacular! The gardens were lovely and very private. Would be 5 stars, but we had a few minor issues: 1. Communication with property manager was good but no direct line to housekeeper, so she would just "show up", but we could not hear her to let her in and one time we were still in our bathrobes. A little awkward. 2. They did a great job of trying to baby-proof in advance of our stay and we really appreciate that. Despite best efforts, somehow my babes wound up finding hardware (screw, nuts, bolts) scattered throughout the house, in the carpet, along the walls, and on low shelves. 3. The heated floors were great in the early mornings, but there was no way to turn off the heat, and it got very, very hot, so we had to keep the windows open most of the time and doors between rooms closed to get some relief. We asked about having the heat turned off, but the housekeeper informed us that if she turned off the heat we would not be able to turn it back on anywhere in the house. 3. Generally clean but there was a lot of hair in the carpet, the ice fridge was frozen shut, and there was a little bit of a dog/garbage smell when we arrived. Overall, excellent and would definitely stay again!!

A lovely stay in Glasnevin...

10 people, ages 17-53, stayed 5-13 Aug 2023. CHECK-IN: Self check-in with specific instructions, easy to follow. CHECK-OUT: Easy departure process. All we had to do was empty trash and start the dishwasher, then lock up. BEDROOMS- Everyone had their own bed (and a few to spare) & we all found the beds quite comfortable. BATHROOMS- We were concerned that there were only 2 bathrooms for 10 of us, but it was no issue. Hot water was plentiful even after multiple showers. LAUNDRY- Washer small capacity compared to what we have in the States, but convenient to do a few small loads of laundry throughout the week. The separate dryer was nice and worked well as long as we remembered to empty the water chamber. KITCHEN- Well appointed & accomodated a crowd. 2 large fridges in the kitchen and a small freezer in the laundry area. 3 toasters, a panini press, 2 drip coffee makers, 2 french presses, 2 electric kettles, plenty of dishes and flatware. Automatic dishwasher too! LIVING SPACES- The TV room accommodated all 10 of us comfortably (big sectional sofa and we brought in a few dining room chairs). Dining room is pretty with the large glass doors/windows and the view of the back gardens. Great for meals & game playing. COMMUNICATION: Simon was AMAZING! He helped us with a few hiccups with the heating and was so easy to reach. LOCATION: Such a beautiful neighborhood! Great to walk around and convenient restaurants/groceries/etc. We will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful home with renovations and lots of character.

Overall great home. Perfect location and beautiful updates. We were told of a lively bunch who occupied the home prior to our stay, which may have accounted for why it appeared a bit dirty when we arrived. After telling the house manager, she quickly resolved the issue and even provided additional snacks in an effort to make up for it. This was much more than I expected! In addition, the dryer seemed to be broken when we arrived and so we hung our clothes on lines in the yard. When the house manager noticed, she quickly ordered repairs and when that failed, the dryer was replaced on the same day. I can’t say enough how responsive, apologetic and communicative the house managers and owners were. Wonderful people and wonderful home! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and country with us! We will definitely be returning with family just around the corner!

Lovely Dublin Home

Our family of 13 from the Philadelphia area enjoyed our week long stay at "The Architect Designed House". Simon was very helpful in the planning of our visit to Ireland. Simon answered all our questions very promptly. The house is quite comfortable for large family gatherings. Simon and his staff provided us with all the amenities one would need (paper products, coffee, tea, sugar, milk etc...) when first arriving at the home. We were even treated to scones one morning! Vicky was at the house when we arrived and explained all we needed to know about the house. House is very close to Dublin, without the noise of the city. Taxi and buses were quite efficient, arriving within minutes. Botanical Gardens, Glasnevin Cemetery, groceries, liquor store and great pubs all within walking distance. I would highly recommend Simon's home to anyone looking for an exceptional place to stay in Glasnevin. Simon also had ordered us our taxi and van for our departure flight...right on time. Thank you Simon for an outstanding job from you and your team! I also highly recommend the Wild Rover Tours, we took a private bus tour to Galway, Belfast and Kilkenny areas. It was such a fantastic experience touring around Ireland with Sarah our guide. Again, many thanks Simon.

Everything was great except the internet

The title says it. Simon and Vicky were excellent hosts and very responsive. They did a lot of little things like helping with automated grocery delivery that really helped. Unfortunately, the internet was problematic the entire trip. They definitely tried to fix it, but never succeeded. For us, that was very important, but if intermittent internet is fine for you(or it gets properly fixed), then you can't go wrong.

The house was beautiful and we loved the conservatory eating area.

Simon was great communicating. He answered any questions promptly, as well as being accommodating when we needed to stay over our checkout time to receive lost luggage. They had coffee, tea, milk, butter and scones waiting for us, which was an unexpected treat. We had 13 staying at the house and had plenty of room. Kieran, Vicky, and John were all very friendly and helpful. We appreciated their input and the information that Simon sent pre-trip. The house was fully equipped and had a great vibe. We were able to walk places and it was a short taxi ride into downtown Dublin. Staying at Glasnevin was a PERFECT start to our Ireland vacation. We highly recommend!!!
