Brian's place is great value for money and close to some fantastic views like the Howth Castle and Church, Howth pier and lots more. The Tesco shop is also not too far and great pre-prepared meals can be had for a steal at 5 or 6 Euros for 4 people. The area is quiet even though it is close to the city center. We loved staying there and Brian provided some great tips on where to go and what to see. Thank you Brian - well worth it!
