Because it is up two hills, in order to get the amazing views, not recommended for seniors who don't have a car. Once there, stunning views of Dublin, Howth and the ocean. Right in the heart of where many celebrities stay when they are in Dalkey. North Americans should research how electrical outlets/switches work before booking, unless at some point a detailed instruction manual is created, especially for the stove, oven, washer, dishwasher and electric wall heaters. Given its location and how prestigious Dalkey is to locals, its more affordable than staying in a hotel, plus you have views and outdoor space. The pics on line don't begin to show the views. 👍👍👍
