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.
