Hello Maluriel,
Mithlond, the Grey Havens was founded by Círdan the Shipwright in the first year of the 2nd Age, it was a harbour, shipyard, fort and settlement, so in the early years through to the fall of Gil-galad it was probably always a-bustlin' with Elvish activity, after then maybe not so much.
I'd have to agree with Meela+DSofUngoly, the Havens would be a soothing yet invocative place to be.
For me it would all be so sad and dreamlike to gaze across the sea there and realise that the entire continent of Beleriand, with all of its tales of horror and wonder, once stretched far off into the distance, long ago...
