Maeve was very welcoming and her home is lovely. Our flight arrived quite early (8:00am) and Maeve graciously allowed us to check in early so we could take a brief rest before heading out to Dublin for some sightseeing. We had a car rented and it was quite easy to get to the city center from her home. Maeve's house was in a very quiet neighborhood just a few blocks from the sea. There was a good seafood restaurant as well as a good noodle restaurant on the water. Room was a bit small, but adequate. Shower was okay...if you don't travel with your own shampoo, you'll need to ask for some (we travel with our own so no problem) Towels a bit thin, but I'm basing that on American tastes and we can be quite picky about our towels! Garden was fantastic. Breakfast was very nice and quite tasty. Overall was a very nice experience our first night in Ireland. Thank you to Maeve and her husband for being so welcoming.
