Inside your fully equipped studio, you've got a kitchen, living space and open plan bedroom – complete with a wardrobe, marble countertops, an uber-modern bathroom and rainfall shower, as well as sweeping views of the docks.

Neighbourhood: Liberties.

This is the perfect Airbnb for its location. If it's your first time in Dublin and you want to sightsee and have fun with your friends, look no further than this two-bedroom flat with a private balcony in the historic Liberties area. It's a 15-minute walk to the iconic Guinness Storehouse and the buzzing nightlife of Temple Bar.

Neighbourhood: City centre.

This quirky Georgian studio on a quiet street near Mountjoy Square absolutely oozes charm. Built in 1792, the self-contained apartment lies at the top of the oval-shaped part of the building, where there’s a double bed on a mezzanine, kitchenette, lounge area and separate bathroom – it's a perfect amount of space for a couple. This is opulent living in the very heart of the city, a perfect place for a couple's getaway.

Price: From €204 per night.

Time Out says: Nearby, you’ll find plenty of restaurants and cafés, as well as the Hugh Lane Gallery of Modern Art, Writers’ Museum, and Gate Theatre – all less than a 10-minute walk away. If soaking up Dublin's culture is your mission, read our guide to the best museums in the city. 

Neighbourhood: Glasnevin.

It’s fitting that this peaceful, green studio is just opposite Dublin's National Botanic Gardens – this is the perfect spot if you want to combine a city break with a calming, nature-filled place to rest your head. It’s a slick space too, considering it was designed by the architect owners. Glasnevin is a great neighbourhood, about a 20 minute bus ride from the city centre with loads of places to eat and drink in nearby Drumcondra. Try the street food market at the Bernard Shaw pub or Shouk for excellent middle eastern grub.

Sleeps: Two.

Price: From €246 per night.

Key perk: Private patio.

Time Out says: Glasnevin is home to plenty of history, cobbled streets and yes, ghost tours. Check out Glasnevin Cemetery, Ireland's largest burial ground which was listed in our top 10 attractions in Dublin. After ghosthunting stop off for an old-fashioned pint at the John Kavanagh The Gravediggers pub just beside the cemetery. This boozer dates back to 1833. 

Neighbourhood: Rathgar.

Spread yourself out in the palatial townhouse set over three floors in the Rathgar area, an affluent, leafy neighbourhood 3km south of Dublin's city centre. Renovated by architects, this late Georgian building is full of period details like sash windows and ornate stone fireplaces. As well as four large bedrooms and a fabulous kitchen for cooking, dining and entertaining, there’s also a leafy garden with a patio for alfresco evenings. It's the perfect Airbnb for large groups and families. 

Sleeps: Nine.

Price: From €717 per night.

Key perk: Ornate fireplace.

Time Out says: 'Honestly, I always walk past townhouses like this and dream about what it must be like to live in one. A stay here would give you that ‘lord of the manor’ vibe without shelling out millions.'

Nieghburhood: Ranelagh.

If there’s a group of you looking for a chilled break in Dublin, this is the perfect dog-friendly pad. It’s spacious, with an epic kitchen, patio and garden. There’s even a hot tub bath and a projector screen where you can all gather on squishy couches in front of a movie. Away from the creature comforts, there's plenty to explore. Ranelagh has a hip and happening foodie scene and Dublin's city centre is barely a 20-minute walk away. You can hop on the Luas tram and be there in a fraction of the time. Also in walking distance is the Aviva Stadium and the neighbourhoods of Donnybrook and Ballsbridge.

Sleeps: Six.

Price: From €700 per night

Key perk: Home cinema.

Time Out says: Trendy Ranelagh is brimming with hip coffee shops and global restaurants. We recommend you try the full Irish breakfast at Cinammon Cafe. Ranelagh is known by many locals as one of the best neighbourhoods in Dublin.

Neighbourhood: Phoenix Park.

Ever stayed in a converted stable with a swimming pool? Nope, us neither. Which is why this space is so special. Aside from its stunning finishes and gorgeous attention to detail, this Airbnb has a whole lot of Irish charm added in for good measure. Throw in the sweet sounds of tweeting birds and horses neighing and you've got yourself a real country escape. Except you're only 15 minutes from the city centre. Amazing, right?

Sleeps: Nine.

Price: From €206 per night.

Key perk: Swimming pool and sauna.

Time Out says: Phoenix Park is the largest urban park in the whole of Europe. It's not just trees and grass either. It's also home to the famous Dublin Zoo and several stately homes, the Wellington Monument, the Papal Cross and Farmleigh House, which used to be the home of the Guinness family.

Neighbourhood: Docklands.

Enjoy the retro vibes of this stylishly decorated flat down by the docks. We’re totally here for that geometric-print brown wallpaper and the 60s leather sofa, both of which give it a distinct whiff of Don Draper and friends. The other star feature is the winding ornate staircase which leads upwards to the calming main bedroom suite and a little lounge area. Stay here and you’ll be very close to the absolute heart of the city, while avoiding some of the loudest parts at nighttime. Great transport links to the tram, train and bus as well. You can walk to Temple Bar, O'Connell Street and Grafton Street in 15-20 minutes.

Sleeps: Five.

Key perk: Harbour view.

Price: From €561 per night.

Time Out says: This fast-growing, modern neighbourhood is in a fab location close to Dublin's best attractions. The maritime neighbourhood itself is still fascinating. Don't skip the highly rated EPIC Irish Emigration Museum next door to this Airbnb. There's also the crazy architecture of the Samuel Beckett Bridge and the oldy-worldy Jeanie Johnston Famine Ship.

Neighbourhood: Leixlip Village.

If you're looking for a trip down history lane on your visit to Dublin, this Airbnb is the one for you. Just five minutes from your stone cottage is Castletown – Ireland's earliest Palladian-style house, built between 1722 and 1729. It's the birthplace of the Guinness brewing empire. The riverside town is filled with rich history for you to discover – made even better when you're retiring to your very cosy stone cottage after a day spent exploring. The best part? It's just 20 minutes by train out of Dublin's city centre. 

Sleeps: Five.

Key perk: Sauna.

Price: From €246 per night.

Time Out says: This historic Airbnb is on the doorstep of scenic trails like Castletown House, Carton House, and the Royal Canal Greenway. Ireland's biggest theme park, Emerald Park, Dublin Zoo, and BASE Entertainment Centre are all within easy reach. If side questing from the city centre is your bag, read our guide to the ultimate day trips from Dublin.
