Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Ranelagh, Dublin

David and Mags were the most gracious hosts! We felt right at home and they were friendly and helpful. Communication was excellent throughout as well. The room was large with a beautiful view over the garden and the house was just a picture! So easy to get the bus into Dublin City centre. We would stay with David and Mags again in a heartbeat!

Lovely wee cottage and great location. Pub around the corner (literally) and grocery store a stones throw away. Lovely space, felt right at home. Will surely book again on the next visit to Dublin

Shumei was a great host, reached out beforehand to know when I was checking-in, and was there to welcome me and made me feel right at home. the room was cosy but great for the price, and she made sure the guests had everything they needed.

A lovely place to stay! Veasna and his partner were lovely to talk to and very friendly. Almost all of my destinations were within walking distance. They provided lots of recommendations for local pubs, restaurants, and things to do as well as several complimentary bathroom supplies. The bedroom was comfortable with a few hangars and shelves. My only complaint was that the bedroom was a bit too warm for my taste. The bathroom was nice as well. They also left space open in the fridge for me to use. Overall I had a lovely experience here :)

This place is a gem of a find. Lovely house in a nice, quiet neighbourhood. Within easy reach of buses to and from Dublin centre. I used a scooter and made short work of getting into the city centre. I was made to feel welcome from the start and everything was easy to find and use. My room was perfect for what I wanted and was able to come and go as I pleased. I can thoroughly recommend this Air BnB. It felt more like visiting my sister than someone I didn't know.

Very well located with great pubs and eating places nearby. The local train station is just a few minutes walk, making it easy to get into Public City Centre and back. There are very nice local walks along the beach and also in a beautifully landscaped local park. Overall, a great place to stay. Recommend it highly.

I had the most incredible stay at Giuditta's place. The location is exceptional and very convenient. The listing is perfect with really great details. I appreciate the thoughtfulness. Great place to stay in Dublin.

We had a lovely stay in Laura’s modern, comfortable home in Dublin. Her house is spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a relaxed visit. The location is handy — just a short walk to the Luas - which made getting to and from the city very smooth. A highlight was using the record player in the evening, which added a unique touch to our stay. The weather was lovely and it was a bonus to be able to enjoy the back garden. I would happily recommend Laura’s home to anyone visiting Dublin who needs easy access to the city!

Alan's place was perfect for my son's (21) and my first trip to Dublin. Alan greeted us when we arrived and helped us get acquainted with the home and loaned us adapters, umbrellas, and Leap cards for the bus system. Rathgar was a beautiful neighborhood! Quiet for sleeping and safe for night walks after dinner, with restaurants and grocery store just minutes from the home. I also discovered it is only a 9 minute walk from the birth home of James Joyce. The set up of the 2 bedrooms gave my son and I plenty of space away from each other, as we had different activity schedules. I was there to celebrate Ulysses on Bloomsday and my son enjoyed the energy of the Temple Bar scene. Getting to Central Dublin was a breeze with the bus stops a short walk away. I highly recommend Alan's place!

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.

Spacious apartment in a cool old building near the heart of Dublin. Very lively neighbourhood; surrounded by tons of pubs, cafes, etc. Alex was a great host. Would definitely stay there again!

We had a fantastic stay at Leo’s place! It was perfect for our 2-night stay - we had everything we needed and the proximity to public transports and a grocery shop was brilliant! Leo was very responsive and helpful and we really enjoyed our stay!

Herbert was a wonderful host. Place was beautiful.

My stay in this apartment was exceptional. The accommodation was exactly as described and provided all the amenities promised. The hosts were very responsive and provided clear and helpful information. The apartment is located in a quiet and safe suburb with exceptional sea views. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a comfortable and peaceful stay.

Great experience staying at Alex’s. Right next to DART and easy commute into city. Accommodation as described. Would recommend 🙂

Everything matched the description, perfect. Will go again.

The perfect place to stay! It was extremely peaceful and was definitely worth it in every way!

Claire’s place was great! It’s close to many Dublin attractions was quiet and comfortable each night. Claire was very responsive and helpful throughout the check-in and checkout process. We had issues with getting online after landing in Ireland, and she was very quick to reply and help us get checked in.

We both had a wonderful stay in Blessington as was a perfect location for us to travel to see family in Wicklow & west of lreland. Accommodation was exactly what we needed. Cathy & Riaan were perfect hosts & were on hand to meet our needs with a great welcome breakfast & fresh eggs to tie us over before our trip to supervalue shops to stock up for local amenities in Blessington main street-nearby. recommend ‘West Wicklow house’ pub for food & good atmosphere. Will definitely hope to return

Fantastic host, lovely stay. Clean, quaint, nice location with a wonderful cafe on the same block. Easy walk to city center, easy transportation, safe, would HIGHLY recommend staying here again and would so so myself if back in Dublin.

I absolutely loved my stay in the den! I love the location because the little bit outside of the busy city, but also very easily walkable. The access to the bus stations are also super easy. There is a Michelin star guide restaurant right down the road a 15 minute walk from there that was incredible. And Sinead and Jane we’re super responsive and gave fantastic instructions. If I come back to Dublin, I would definitely stay there!

David's place was exactly as described. Great location in the Portobello neighbourhood and was easy to get into central Dublin. Also great transportation to other areas via the bus. David was very flexible when we had to change our booking from Sept 2024 to May 2025. He was extremely welcoming when we checked in (provided a bottle of wine!) and very responsive when we accidentally locked ourselves out on the last day of our stay!! We stayed for 6 nights and appreciated the kitchen amenities and the very comfortable bed :) We would highly recommend David's place if you are travelling to Dublin.

Stayed just one night to begin our road trip around Ireland. The place was larger than expected. Sean was very helpful and friendly with clear instructions regarding the property. We had a good nights sleep. The bed was very comfortable.

This apartment is in a beautifully restored Catholic Church. We had stayed in a different apartment in the same building years ago, so we knew we loved the area. The renovation of Mark's place is extremely well done, and a lot of the original Gothic features are still incorporated in the design. The neighborhood has a lot of small cafes and restaurants nearby, and it's an easy walk of 15 minutes or so to the Temple Bar and tourist areas. (Try the Fresh grocery store along the way back to pick up some great salads and baked goods!)
