I only stayed onenight at Isobel's but I wished I had stayed longer. Dublin was completely overbooked with canceled flights and 80,000 people attending Garth Brooks concert (can you believe it?) My reservation was a Godsend. Her house is @ 25 minutes from the airport and a 5 minute walk to the beach. My room had all that I needed, a spacious bed, fridge, table to prep a bit of food, and the ability to make coffee. I took a walk on the beach in the a.m. Isobel gave me directions and a bit of charming Irish chat. She reserved a cab for the a.m. and got me on the way. The neighborhood was charming and the house with its own character. She has a room with clear roof that seems to be used for Yoga at times. Ask Isobel. I had to be on my way.
