We loved staying at Brion's!! Location - about a 20-30 min walk into the main centre but you don't really notice the time it takes. If you prefer the buses are super handy and the train station is just across the road for going into town or elsewhere. The airport bus drop off/pick up is within a 5 min walk. On our first day we'd landed at the airport, got the bus to Brion's, dropped our stuff and jumped on the train to head for a wicked day at Howth within an hour! On the return home, the pick-up for the airport bus is just across the main road so it only took us about 30 mins from leaving the house to being at check-in. Good for early flights!! The Area - It's in Drumcondra which we thought might be a town outside the centre, but it's just the name of the area within the city basically. We could walk into town easy from here. There's plenty of shops and a nice busy main street alongside it for food shopping etc. There's a couple really nice coffee shops for breakfast etc - Bread & Butter just up the road, or Le Petit Breton. The football stadium is located in the area, there's no issues with this but on our walk back some of the streets were very busy with people - good vibe though! When the football is on some of the roads are closed off for pedestrians only, just tell the officers you are a resident and they let you through :) The House - nice place! Brion said himself he's recently moved in and is doing the place up (June 2018). The room itself is great and has been sorted out completely. Comfy bed, wooden floor, couple of nice features, two windows. Great for the summer. Brion left us a hairdryer, charger and towels out which was lovely. The living room could do with some touch ups, the kitchen/diner is well equipped and very tidy. The shower is great. Just a few bare walls that need painting a few things need finishing off, but as I say Brion said himself he only moved in last month and has been doing the place up. It was great for us and we loved it, tbh it's much nicer than the impression from the photos! Dublin - incredible city. We had 48 hours and blitzed it. We jumped the train out to Howth first, we thought we'd do a seaside/out-of-town trip while we had the most energy, and Brion said Howth market would be on as it was a Sunday. About 45 mins on the train and well worth it. Cute harbour, we saw seals!! Nice arty market with good foods and souvenirs. Walk out to the marina and then head up the hill past it for the cliff walk - there are some big routes for proper hiking, but we did a section just in normal shoes etc and it...
