Howth is a great town. We stayed one night. First the good....the place was well located, easy to check in, comfortable and clean. Our family of 4 had plenty of room.
The kind of bad is the way you have to get into the apartment. You have to pull your luggage through people dining on the outside deck of the restaurant. It was awkward. And also not easy to get up the flight of stairs with heavy bags.
The very bad are the seagulls. I see that Karl wrote a response to the seagull issues on previous reviews saying that the issue is resolved. It is NOT resolved. Not even close. The seagulls screeched all night long. Probably over 50 gulls live on and around the building. They flap by the windows all night. There was no sleep to be had. At times it sounded like they were going to come through the ceiling.
If the seagull issue gets resolved I would highly recommend this property.
