“Avoca House B&B, run by the same family for 25 years, offers a more local experience of Dublin. I found that the location, a short bus ride from the airport and city center, balances access with neighborhood quiet. For me, it's a traditional B&B that welcomes pets and provides a filling breakfast to start the day.”
