Vacation Rental Description
This apartment is situated in a purpose built block in a prestigious area of Dublin. Ailesbury Road which runs from Ballsbridge to Donnybrook is a tree lined residential road, home to many of the Embassies. The block is set in gardens with a large lawned area for sitting out and has its own private parking. The residents are mainly retired so it is a quiet haven and it is expected that guests will not create unwanted noise! The apartment, although having only one bedroom is very spacious and has a cloakroom off the hall as well as a bathroom (with an over the bath shower) off the bedroom. The matresses were bought with the purpose of providing for the differing requirements of so many couples - one is latex for the softer loving type and one is a medium sprung matress. The matresses (these are two matresses on one super king frame, not separate beds) are made up with twin duvets but I can provide a super-king one on advance request. I do not have a cot so, sorry, no babies - this is only suitable for 1 to 2 adults.
The sitting room has comfortable seating for five, a multi-channel TV, DVD player, Wifi Broadband access (free), a piano and a working fireplace which burns smokeless logs, obtainable from the local supermarket.
The apartment is centrally heated and has constant hot water during the day. A balcony leads off the sitting room and looks over the buildings of Ballsbridge towards the sea a mile away (hidden by trees in between so no actual 'sea view'). This faces east as do all the other rooms so it gets only early morning sun. The windows are huge so the whole apartment is very bright.
The kitchen is well equipped (including microwave and dishwasher) and has a small seating area. There is a dining room table, seating six, in the sitting room.
There is a video-phone entrance system in the hall and a daytime caretaker is on hand for emergencies. The block is equipped with a sensitive smoke alarm system. The apartment is on the third floor, reached by lift or stairs. There are 3 steps (with handrail) outside going up to the main entrance so it is not suitable for those in wheelchairs.
Provided for the holidaymaker is a comprehensive folder of how things work in the apartment and suggestions of things to do in Dublin. The apartment is prepared for holidays by me personally. All linen, towels and utilities are included in the rental rate. There are no extras unless a telephone is required and this can be arranged at cost with advance notice for visitors staying over a month.
As this is my own holiday home it is supplied with all the normal things one would find in a store cupboard including tea and coffee and it is just asked that you replace as used.
There are shops a few minutes walk from the apartment and a large supermarket a little further away. Buses, including the Aircoach from Dublin airport stop about 3 minutes walk from the apartment. The buses run very frequently to the centre but you can walk to St Stephen's Green through very pleasant streets, in under 30 minutes.
Herbert Park is 5 minutes walk away. Here you can stroll amongst the flowers, feed the ducks on the pond, go jogging or play tennis on the public courts. There are plenty of good places to eat and drink in the area and it is close to two rugby grounds. Golfing is available to visitors at Elm Park Golf course (10 mins walk). In addition the Belfield Campus of University College Dublin is within easy walking distance making this a popular place to stay for the visiting academic. A major teaching hospital - St. Vincent's Hospital - is a few minutes away as is the home of Irish television, the studios of RTE.
Please see the calendar to get an idea of availability as I try to keep this up to date. Lets are for a MINIMUM OF FIVE NIGHTS only, for a MAXIMUM OF 2 PEOPLE, and I regret that last minute bookings are not possible because of logistics at my end.
Facilities
Please see note on contacting me just above the contact owner button! I now only do min of 5 night lets - no shorter stays and no last minute bookings because I come over from England to get it ready for you. You are welcome to make your stay shorter but the rent is the same and you can arrive on any day of the week, subject to it being available. There is internet access through wifi or cable. This is Broadband and there is no extra charge for its use. Parking is free (I provide a disc for the visitor's car park which has video surveillance) Clean Linen and towels are provided but I do not provide an ongoing laundry service as this is not a serviced apartment so if you are staying longer than a week you undertake your own laundering while you stay. Food shops including delis providing ready-prepared food are within an easy walk. There are many restaurants in the area. The aircoach stop is a few minutes walk away.

PLEASE READ!!!!
******Please note that when you enquire through this system I reply almost always immediately (subject to sleeping time!) but frequently have emails bounce back because they are caught up in your spam filter and I am powerless to contact you except by phone (if you have given me your number) which can be very expensive if you are abroad. If you email me, please check for an email address that has 'sansome' in it!! ****
Owner Location Comment
Under 3kms from St. Stephen’s Green, pedestrianised Grafton Street & Trinity College and very well served by buses for the 10 minute run, the location couldn't be bettered. The Aircoach runs right by too. Local shops are 5 minutes walk.The Merrion Shopping Centre (Tesco here), St. Vincents Hospital, the Royal Dublin Society, RTE Montrose Studios, and University College Dublin are all nearby and the Dart railway is about a 15 minute walk down Ailesbury Road) at Sydney Parade. You can walk to the beach at Sandymount in about 20 minutes or take a 5 minute stroll to Herbert Park (public tennis courts, duck ponds etc.) It is in a perfect quiet position for being near to the centre of Dublin, without the noise, and convenient for trips by car or bus southwards to the sea and mountains.
Travel Options
- Nearest Airport : Dublin at 12 miles distance;
- Nearest Train Station : Sydney Parade Dart at 1 miles distance

- Travel Info: The Aircoach service runs from the airport about every 10 minutes to stops a few minutes walk from the apartment and takes approximately 40 minutes. You can take either the Leopardstown service or the Ballsbridge service as they both stop in Donnybrook. The cost is currently €14 return. In addition there is a normal double decker bus which is much cheaper but runs less frequently. Coming by car, we are just off the N11 which runs from Wicklow/Wexford direction. Buses run to the centre of Dublin every few minutes. The Dart train service is about a mile away on foot. There are food shops, restaurants and pubs, about 5 minutes walk from the apartment.

Owners Profile
I am always happy to answer any questions about my two properties, Sansome House Cottage in the Cotswolds which is in the grounds of our own family home, or my holiday home in the Ballsbridge/Donnybrook area of Dublin. I used to live in Dublin and have lived in the Cotswolds for 30+ years. I can tell you all about the areas they are in, places to go, things to see etc. and am happy to help you plan itineraries while you are there. Feel free to email me even if you are not definitely booking as I am never far from a computer although, on the rare occasions that I get away on holiday myself, there might be a slight delay in replying. Usually you will get a reply within 12 hours, if not within the hour. Sometimes I reply and get no answer from the other end so I am left wondering if I have landed in your junk mail filter so please remember to check that. The email will have sansomecottage in the address. I look forward to hearing from you!
