Howth is a beautiful refuge just a short train ride or drive away from exciting Dublin. Brian's place is very funky and was sparkling clean for our arrival. It is directly across from the water and steps from amazing pubs and restaurants. Despite not being able to meet in person, Brian was very communicative and provided helpful recommendations for enjoying the area. My only regret is that we only stayed for one night. Will absolutely stay again if we ever find ourselves back in Dublin.
