Dear Readers,
What makes a great stay? The room, food, the ambiance, the warmth of people hosting us (hotel or Airbnb) and what else? Does a bathroom fit into the list of making a place great? I believe so. A good, neat and hygienic bathroom gives the opposite feeling of a bad and stinking one does. This place has a clean, big and neat bathroom. Oh! I was in love with the space.
Moving from Bathroom, time to speak about the room. It's one big room with 2 separate cots. 2 of them large enough for 2 people to sleep and the other one for a single person. The room has space to keep your luggage. Once you have kept the luggage and stuff, the room may not feel quite big anymore. Privacy within the room is a challenge. This will be a concern if you are traveling in a mixed group (apart as couples). I'm sure if you speak to the owners, they will arrange for an additional room just to change clothes.
About the hosts. They are warm and friendly. It was a pleasure meeting and talking to them. Since we were the first guests from India to visit them, they were eager to know more about India and we were more than happy to speak about. If you are into boxing, then grab a chair and speak to Allen. He has a lot to offer on the topic of Boxing.
About the place. It's easy to access once you know the route. For first timers, I recommend using Google Maps as it leads right to this place. You will get a link from the hosts once you have booked the place.
Proximity to other locations in Dublin. Once you reach the DART (Train) station, it's easy. Dublin is max 40min, Howth is max 40 min and so on.
I highly recommend doing the trail trek in Howth. You can get the information about Howth trail walk once you reach Howth and check with the information center. If the weather is good, it's a pleasure. Carry water and Sandwiches if you are planning for the longest walk.
Overall we had an amazing stay at Rush and we would recommend this for everyone who wants to stay within Dublin County and away from the city traffic with affordable rates.
