The description was completely accurate and Karin was a great host! We had been thinking about taking a train trip to the west coast to see the Cliffs of Moher, but as we only had a few days, Karin suggested we take the local train to Malahide and Howth, suggesting that the cliff walk there was very good. This we did and the cliff walk out of Howth was spectacular! This trip is just 30 minutes by train from Dublin. Karin's apartment is as whimsical and beautiful as it appears in the pictures. A completely oval apartment with a very high ceiling and with some beautiful features and furniture. The kitchen is well set out and had everything we needed. As well, Karin had left a few things in the fridge for a very welcome snack when we arrived. We lit the fire at night which made the place quite idyllic. If we return to Dublin (we loved our few days here), we'd certainly try to stay at this apartment again. No complaints at all. Well done Karin! You have a gem here!
