2 Marconi House, Apartment
Amazing location and perfect property for a couple. Recommend booking here if you want to log off and relax away from the hustle and bustle! Close to lots of swimming spots and the famous O’Sullivans! Roisin is lovely and is there if you need her but also leaves you to your own devices.

3 Marconi House, Apartment
Owner was very responsive and provided good information prior to arrival and in response to a couple of questions. Only a 5 minute walk to the pier and O’Sullivans pub. Brighter lighting would help.
