Hidden gem a short stretch of the legs from the village of Malahide! I had a few days without a lot going on in Dublin. I was staying with a friend out in Saggart. I've stayed in Malahide at commercial locations a number of times and the village is lovely. With a fantastic weather forecast (sunny and a small breeze) I was intent on getting to Malahide to enjoy a few walks along the coastal road. I decided to forego the previous commercial places I stayed for a great two days and nights with Albert. It was especially helpful that with advance notice he was able to collect me at the Malahide train station when I arrived. I am used to privacy when I travel and appreciated that AirBNB guests have the entire first floor to themselves when in residence. The sitting room was a pleasure to enjoy breakfast, a bit of TV or just to plan the day. I consider myself very lucky that his home was available for those two days as it is very much in demand. It is a short walk into town which affords you restaurants, shops, and the train into Dublin or out to Howth, Bray, etc... even Drogheda and Dundalk! We attended a concert in Donnybrook and caught a 10:45 PM train from the Aviva and were in Malahide for last order at Gibney's! That's especially handy. Definitely recommend if you're interested in staying in the area.
