Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Phibsborough, Dublin

We loved our stay at Danielle’s cozy cottage. It’s centrally located to most of the obvious places to visit (don’t miss Phoenix Park!), and both buses and the tram are nearby. Easy check-in, friendly and responsive host, great apartment with everything you need and more. What’s not to like?

What can I say about Crow’s Hermitage that the other reviews haven’t already captured? If you’re considering other options—stop looking. You’ve found the perfect place. As many others have noted, the photos can’t possibly convey the enchantment that settles over you the moment you arrive. From the character of the home to the serene outdoor spaces to the thousand-year-old parish next door, it feels like stepping into the pages of a fairytale. When it comes to hosts, Colm is in a league of his own. He went above and beyond with directions, thoughtful recommendations, and any request we made. By the end of our stay, we didn’t just feel cared for—we felt like family.

Spacious, sun drenched, well stocked, and clean apartment. Great location with lots of restaurants and sights nearby. Easily walkable, but public transportation is also right outside. Would highly recommend!

We had a lovely time staying in this space! Jamie and Holly were super responsive and their home was comfortable and provided all the amenities we could need. We even got a perfect recommendation for a bite to eat while we waited for check in. The area was extremely walkable for everything we wanted to do and see! I really felt like a Dublin local for the week. Highly recommend this booking.

We were so happy with our stay! The location was close to city Centre but far enough to escape the crowds. It worked perfectly for our group of 8. Deborah & her husband were so responsive. We had some unseasonably warm weather and they went out of their way to make sure we were cool & comfortable. We loved the Italian place just steps from the front door & the easy walk to the park in the morning. There was also plenty of stores nearby to grab a few groceries! We were so happy with our choice to stay at Deborah’s place while we were in Dublin!

Stephen has a hidden gem, nicely tucked away in a great part of Dublin He’s cottage is very cosy, walking distance to any part of the city Great cafe and restaurants a short distance away.

Wow! The home is a masterpiece! Beautiful design and architecture. Every detail is thought out and cared for. Great location too. Was honored to stay in this stunning home during our trip to Dublin. Wish I could give it more than 5 stars!

Great place to stay that felt cozy but gave our family of 7 enough space to spread out. Walking distance to restaurants and the botanical gardens. A short lift to the city center. Our host was great with communication and helpful suggestions.

We had a wonderful stay at Ani and Claire’s apartment. The apartment is bright, with a lot of sunlight coming from the living room windows and surrounded by huge trees and greenery. The apartment was very clean, especially the bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked with everything that we needed to prepare simple meals for the family. We had all comfort needed for our stay, more than enough hot water for 4 showers, the heating setting was perfect. This location is unbeatable, if you are looking for a peaceful and quiet place but within short bus ride to downtown (bus 130 is just around the corner). We loved strolling down the street to the water and all the small restaurants and cafes along the street. The Insomnia cafe just across the street was our favourite morning stop. This apartment is a gem in the best neighborhood of Dublin! 10 out of 10 for location, comfort, cleanliness. We would love to stay here again if we visit Dublin in the future.

We would definitely stay here again. We wanted to stay in a place with a comfortable space for two couples, and not in the thick of the tourist areas. This place fit the bill. It is a fairly short walk to St. Stephen's Green and everything beyond that Dublin has to offer. The neighborhood is quiet and there are good restaurants nearby. It was also fun to walk along the canal in the evening. The living room, dining room, kitchen, and both bedrooms are very spacious. While the entrance is below street level, the large front window lets in lots of light. The bedrooms both look out on a courtyard, so there's light when you want it. The bathrooms were also nice. The washer and dryer were also a nice feature. When we arrived, we got drenched by a passing shower and the dryer was great to have! Jamie and his co-managers were responsive when we requested laundry and dish soap. The internet was also good.

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!

Thanks Niamh for a well appointed Dublin pad.

Kathleen was very friendly and responsive, allowing us to check in a bit early. Great location close to many restaurants and sightseeing. Bedrooms were a bit cramped and bed was not as comfortable as I hoped, but overall a good stay.

We had a great stay at Kevin’s place. The space was clean and well maintained. The location was close to everything we wanted to do. Kevin was extremely responsive to our questions and check-in/check-out was a breeze. Great place to stay especially for bigger groups.

James has been the most welcoming host - thank you so much for your kindness, for the recommendations around the apartment and the support when we needed it. I highly recommend staying in this apartment, which is really well-decorated and comfortable. Bonus: sea view when you're coming out of the apartment :) Thanks again for everything

Very secure location. There is a DART track nearby, but I didn't notice this at night when I was trying to sleep. The various codes for doors and gates can be a little tricky to figure out at first, but are easy once you get them handled. Great to have access to covered parking. The washing machine was broken for our stay, which was disappointing, but the host let us know days in advance, so that allowed us to make other plans to get clothes cleaned. Otherwise, this was a great place to stay.
