Wonderfully warm hosts, Siobhan and Noel. Great house- which is clean & comfortable. Great communication. If, culturally, you're used to an immediately familiar manner with people, then Siobhan & Noel are perfect for you. Born hosts, their manner is humorous, down-to-earth and completely relaxed. My stay with them made my trip that much more special. The other guests who were staying at the time were lovely as well and the communal breakfast was a great way to start the day. Location-wise, I was visiting Howth & Dublin, so it was great- the 130 bus will get you into the city center in less than 20 minutes and the 31a bus at the top of the road gets you to Howth in under 30 mins. Otherwise use the train, which they call the Dart (Clontarf Road- about a 10 min walk away), to get you to both places quicker.
