Elaine's place was one of our favourite B & Bs that we've stayed at. It was very comfortable for our family of 4 and the large windows made it bright and offered a nice view of the pretty garden. The kitchen was well equipped - with everything needed to prepare full meals (dishes, spices, + a dishwasher). The grocery store across the street was very convenient.
Elaine quickly responded to messages and offered helpful advice about getting around Dun Laoghaire and to Dublin. We easily walked to the DART station to take us to central Dublin.
We would definitely recommend staying at Elaine's place.
