I felt very comfortable there and Des was very helpful. His Airbnb is in a very safe neighborhood and located close to downtown Swords and public transportation. Since I was a solo traveler and Des make sure I understood how to get out and about safely. Downtown Swords was only about a 15 minute walk from his home and public transportation is about a 5 minute walk. Des also recommended visiting Malahide, a wonderful coastal town about a 20 minute bus ride. I would definitely stay there again if I get back to Ireland.
