Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our one double bedroom apartment is right in the centre of the pretty village of Malahide. Own door, cosy apartment and only a few minutes walk to the train station- train to Dublin city takes about 35 mins. It is 15 minutes drive from the Dublin airport. We are situated just two minutes walk to the sea and Marina.
The apartment is ideal for a couple, however we can supply a folding bed to accommodate an extra child/adult in the living room. The bedroom at the rear of the apartment opens out onto a sunny patio, great place to relax, have lunch/dinner or just have a glass of wine in the evening if you fancy. The bathroom has a walk in shower for comfort and ease of access. The kitchen is fully equipped and separate from the living/dining room which is at the front of the apartment. Nice to kick off the shoes at the end of a busy day seeing the sites and watch the t.v. Malahide is a vibrant coastal village in North County Dublin with a Marina, tennis courts, beautiful sandy beach and of course the historical Malahide Castle are all within walking distance of the apartment. Within 10 minutes of the apartment you can take a longer walk continue on along the coast to Portmarnock beach.
In Malahide Village you will be spoiled for choice with boutiques, restaurants, pubs ,cafes and lots more besides. If you want to travel into Dublin to shop or visit the tourist attractions then the train and bus services are also within a 2/3 minute walk. We are open to non-simultaneous exchange and will consider short rentals if you need somewhere to stay perhaps for two or three nights before returning to Dublin airport.
As we don't drive while on holidays we prefer to be near public transport.
