When we arrived early in the morning from an overnight flight from the US, Robyn allowed us to check in extra early . She met us at the house with an enthusiastic smile and everything was ready for us. The clean room was exactly as depicted with a comfortable big bed and an ensuite bathroom. The view of the garden through the large glass sliding doors is so peaceful and beautiful. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio having a drink or coffee, or just chatting with our hostess who had many great suggestions for our stay in the Dublin area. She even drove us to dinner one night and came back to pick us up. That's service! The #9 bus line into Dublin is right outside the door and is an easy 20 minutes into the center of the city. Cost per trip was 2.90 euros pp. It was so convenient and easy to get around. Every morning Robyn left breakfast for us in the little foyer area. Cereal, fruit, bread, yogurt, juice, coffee, tea - everything fresh and ready to start the day. The day we arrived we wanted to doing something simple due to jet lagg. Thankfully I read really great things about the Glasnevin Cemetery and Museum about 10 minutes on the bus from the apartment. They offer an amazing tour that helps one understand the history of Ireland. The place is beautful too. It is highly rated on Trip Advisor and I can see why. Perfect beginning to our trip. We ate at the Tolka House pub on the same street (head left out of the cemetery). It was a local's recommendation and the food was great. Highly recommend. We spent the next few days in Dublin doing the hop on/off bus and visiting many of the sites. It was wonderful. At Robyn's suggestion, we also took a day tour wirh Irish Day Tours to The Cliffs of Moher and it was breath taking and an outstanding experience. Also took a day trip by bus and train to the fishing village of Howth just north of Dublin. (45 minutes total travel time - about 6 euros each) Highly recommended - take the bus right outside the train station in Howth to the Summit for spectacular views and a nice walk. If you like seafood this is the place to go. Fresh fish come onto the restaurants daily from this harbor. Can't say enough good things about our experience with Robyn or in Ireland. We will be back to enjoy more of this beautiful country.
