Continuing my occasional series on "where we live"
These charming late Nineteenth century terraced cottages are in Geraldine Street and O'Connell Avenue off Berkeley Road in the Broadstone/Phibsborough area. Because of their proximity to the city centre (No 10 bus route) and to Phibsborough village (a few minutes walk away) cottages like these have been much sought after in recent years and during the height of the property boom were selling for up to a half a million Euro. The Mater University Hospital, the Mater Private Hospital, the Children's Hospital at Temple Street and Mountjoy Prison are also nearby so they are in a prime rental location (am I starting to sound like an Estate Agent?).
Most are 2 or 3 bedroom and some are split-level with a two storey extension at the back. They can range in size between 40 and 80 sq.mtrs, and even now in more straitened times can still fetch up to 250/300,000 Euro.

They are beautiful and I so well understand that they are popular. We have something similar in Denmark, they are called *city houses* and are much like your cottages here. They are also very popular and expensive, even though they used to house the poor originally.
