Howth is a wonderful seaside area, and I feel completely refreshed after my 11-day stay. I really just needed a place to crash before moving into my grad school residence, but this turned out to be such a lovely spot to live and play in. I spent hours almost every day just walking into and around town.
Margot is just absolutely lovely and so so sweet. She and her husband and kids were absolutely the loveliest people, I am extremely terrified of spiders and there were a few that managed to get in and around the Airbnb when the weather dropped temperatures during my stay there. Each time, they helped me out by taking the spiders outside — just truly above and beyond! Margot also helped me carry my numerous heavy suitcases in and out of the snug.
The airbnb itself Was absolutely perfect. It was fully stocked with enough tea, coffee, sugar, milk, dishes, and utensils for me to use during my stay. It was clean, comfortable, and cozy. I truly cannot recommend this Airbnb — or margot and her family — enough! As a woman of color basically alone in a foreign country for two weeks, I felt safer and cozier than I sometimes have felt in my own home :)
