If I had known how nice Dun Laoghaire was I never would have stayed my arrival days in the Dublin city centre. Brian's home is in a perfect location. The area is beautiful, an easy walk to the DART to get anywhere in Dublin, a very short walk to the waterfront, and great walks along the waterfront to other villages. Everything is within walking distance - shops, restaurants, museums, coffee stops...and Brian was very helpful whenever I had a question about getting around, finding a place to eat, and hefting my case full of heavy art supplies!
