Daragh and his team were as always simply great - it feels like home and such a wonderful location. The place itself was as the photos show and there were no issues getting there or checking in. Daragh himself was personally very helpful and welcoming. Even though he is running his business he took the time out to welcome us and was very attentive to any needs or questions we had.
As for Howth it is very hard to find such a location so sweet in Dublin. It is a small fishing village just outside the city - great seafood restaurants as you would expect. Connection to the city is very easy as there is a bus service or train service (15 mins to city center) right in Howth. Also being on the northside it is near the airport too.
When I travel to Dublin I usually try stay in Howth and usually at Daragh's place - if he has an opening. I can't recommend it highly enough
