Mary's apartment in Rush was absolutely spotless when we arrived, and right on the beach with direct access to the water edge. Got up early (!) and made a cracking shot of the sunrise over Howth Head. We went out of season (January) so everywhere was quiet which suited me, but the apartment was warm & cosy despite the weather. Everything worked, all the kitchen equipment was like new , beds were comfortable and the linen was immaculate. If it is any sort of a recommendation, I'm planning another visit later in the year.
