Albert is a first-class host - friendly, helpful, and flexible with the late arrangements needed in order to check in. The space is warm, comfortable, private, and fully stocked with comfortable bedding, room darkening drapes, and a lovely lounge for eating and relaxing. Located in a very quiet cul-de-sac neighborhood just steps from the coastal road, water/beach, and lovely Malahide. Malahide itself is quite central to Dublin or anywhere else you might wish to go (train station with friendly workers). Note that there's an airport bus (city bus) practically outside the door, and 3.30 Euros will take you to the airport very easily and quickly (maybe 25 minutes mac, straight to the terminals!). Buy train tickets online in advance 'from Dublin' for cheapest train fares to anywhere else you might wish to go (example: 'Dublin' to Belfast, though you'd actually travel from Malahide to Drogheda to Belfast).
