We came to Albert's lovely home in a state of exhaustion after our flight and driving on the left in a rental car. Albert's place is located just a block and a half from the beach and it's easy to get there from his place. It's a 15 minute walk to the center of town which includes a train station featuring 25 minute service to downtown Dublin. Malahide Castle is a bit longer walk but well worth the effort. Albert's posting is completely accurate and we found him to be both friendly and accommodating. He allowed us to leave our car and things with him before we went into Dublin. He still had guests and it was only 7 a.m. He was very easy to work with and the room, bath, and private living room (stocked with food) were wonderful.
