Eileen was an energetic and thoughtful host. We really enjoyed the fresh brewed coffee and baked goods in the morning. She also helped us call a cab to the airport when we were leaving which was very nice. As the other reviews stated, she is filled with local tips and things to do if you haven’t planned your entire trip. The surrounding neighborhood is very peaceful and very accessible from the city center of Dublin, granted you aren’t staying out extremely late — then you would have to call a cab to get back as the public transportation options taper off around midnight. This didn’t affect my stay, but just a heads up in case anyone was expecting to enjoy the nightlife after hours in the city center. Great spot to explore Howth, which is only a couple DART stops or bus stops away. You can also take public transportation easily to Malahide Castle and Gardens. Cab from the house to the airport will cost around 20-25 euros which is not bad at all. Thanks Eileen for a great stay!
