I stayed for a week at Francesca's studio from Jun 29 through July 6th. I agree with all the wonderful reviews. It is a nice, clean, comfortable place to stay and will certainly book on my next visit. The train station and grocery store are short walks away. Francesca would message to see how I was doing or if I needed anything on a regular basis and even gave me a recommendation for a place to eat while in Howth (The Brass Monkey, and I had a fantastic seafood chowder). With that, I also felt comfortable to come and go as I pleased and was able to do my own thing. I will be back!
