This is a Gem!

I lived in The Mews for six months and it has been sublime! The apartment is wonderful with a roomy livingroom, master bedroom and bath. There is an enormous closet in the master bedroom which is a real treat. The apartment was sparkling clean upon letting and so cosy, it was a pleasure to spend time. The kitchen was well equipped and had every conceivable culinary device, so for those who like to cook it is a wonderful space.
Sandymount is a terrific spot. there are terrific restaurants, pubs, shops and it has the feel of a village. The fact that the sea is right across the street is amazing. You can hear the gulls and smell the sea air--so it is peaceful as well and a good place to take a terrific walk. Access to An Lar (city center) is excellent with a bus across Lea Rd , [actually 2 buses (#3 & #2)] which takes you into town via Pearse Street. the ride is lovely. If you are into trains you can take the DART. There is a BIG Tesco just a few bus stops away and a smaller one in Sandymount. So you can have all your food needs met. In Sandymount there is a marvelous butcher, bakery, a smaller Tesco for quick items and shops galore.
A now a word about Iverna. You could not find a nicer, more professional owner. I commented that the Mews lacked a dryer. Well there is now a dryer! As a New Yorker, I was shocked that she accomodated me and had the dryer in the apartment upon arrival. Iverna is wonderful, the apartment is lovely, the area amazing --and the price--fair.
I intend to return and would recommend and will recommend Seaside to all of my friends. It is a gem.
